561-11 Air Transport Inertial Navigation System (INS)
This standard defines the requirements of an INS, which provides sensor and steering command outputs.... The INS includes inertial sensing and provides outputs for aircraft attitude, present position, and steering signals suitable for operating the pilotýs instruments. The basic INS provides complete self-contained horizontal navigation capability intended to serve as the sole means of navigation on a worldwide basis.

562 Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) - Analog
Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS)ý Analog addresses the need for standard TAWS installati...ons in older aircraft that have analog equipment interfaces. The analog unit is intended as a replacement for ARINC Characteristic 594: Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) equipment. The document is intended to compliment ARINC Characteristic 762: Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) for later model aircraft having digital equipment interfaces.

595 Barometric Altitude Rate Computer (BARC)
This standard provides general guidance for the design and installation of a BARC for use with a GPW...S. The BARC generates an electrical rate signal from pneumatic pressure supplied by the aircraft static pressure system. The BARC unit is intended primarily for use with ground proximity warning equipment in aircraft that do not have a suitable electrical signal for altitude rate.
