ARINC 610B SimSoft Working Group

Last Update: August 29, 2008

Chairman: Mike Jackson - FedEx
Chairman: Bob Aguglia - Northwest Airlines
APIM: Flight Simulators for use of Avionics and software in flight simulators

---

Recent new aircraft types have highlighted the requirement to update ARINC 610B to better cover aircraft employing integrated modular avionics, include additional data bus protocols (ARINC 664, CAN) and additional avionics equipment that is now becoming standard (EFB, HUD etc.).

List typical functionality required on training devices to be covered by ARINC 610B e.g. extraction of flight plan data for display on Instructor Station.

Provide examples of the type of issue that requires SimSoft implementation to assist suppliers of software applications, particularly for systems not traditionally requiring SimSoft functionality, to assess if ARINC 610B is required for their system.
