764 Head-Up Display (HUD) System
This document defines a Head-Up Display (HUD) system intended for installation in all types of aircr...aft. It describes the physical form factors, fit dimensions, electrical interface definition and typical HUD functions, including the display of navigation and guidance information in the flight crew's forward field of view. The HUD accomplishes this by projecting images onto a combiner with symbology that conforms to the outside world view. Guidance for HUD architectures include single, twin, dual and HUD integrated with Primary Flight Display (PFD). This document is an practical guide for the design of federated equipment and integrated modular avionics.

767-1 Enhanced Airborne Flight Recorder
This document is intended to provide design guidance for the development and installation of an Enha...nced Airborne Flight Recorder (EAFR). The EAFR standard addresses combinations of any or all of the following in a single Line Replaceable Unit (LRU), a Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) function, a Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) function, a data link recording function, and an image recording function. This document does not address the overall flight data recorder system requirements but considers interface and system standards. This document does not replace ARINC Characteristic 747 which defines DFDRs. This document addresses the details of the voice recording function but does not describe the audio distribution system. It does not replace ARINC Characteristic 757 which defines CVRs. The EAFR may be used in a single or dual-redundant installation as permitted by regulation. Both configurations are addressed in this Characteristic.
