- ARINC and AMERICAN AIRLNES
ARINC uses what frequency
VHF
Where is ARINC installed
Computer data network
a digital datalink system that uses radio or satellite to send brief, relatively basic communications
Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS)
is a global data network that connects people across the world
AviNet Global Data Network (previously known as ARINC Data Network Service)
Passengers are validated at security checkpoints using
VeriPax - Passenger Reconciliation System (PRS)
provides passengers and staff with the in-flight connection.
In-flight Broadband
must be provisioned for SBD operation with Iridium.
Transceiver
Two primary goals of ARINC
- Aviation and tourism sector communications and information processing services.
- For government and industry, system engineering, development, and integration.
Using our voice services, aircrews and ground operations can readily communicate
Domestic Voice Service
ARINC operates 7 Long Distance Operational Control (LDOC) facilities
International Voice Service
is the central database or repository for all operative systems which provides all flight-related data accurately and efficiently in a real-time environment.
Airport Operational Database
gives you full visibility of all your airport resources in real time – across one dashboard
Airplan
allows the Airport Security Staff to verify the Checked-in and Boarded Passengers who are entering the aircraft.
Passenger Reconciliation System
allows the Airport Security Staff to verify the Checked-in and Boarded Passengers who are entering the aircraft.
Passenger Reconciliation System
is the user interface screen on the handheld device (HHD) that will be used for doing reconciliation of passenger at ladder point this application will allow only authentic PAX on the flight by scanning the boarding passes.
The Pax Reconciliation System App
Allows non FANS equipped aircraft to send position reports CNS/ATM Functions with non FANS aircrafts - CFRS − Allows non-FANS-equipped aircraft to send position reports in a manner similar to CADS
Centralized Flight Management Computer Waypoint Reporting System (CFRS)
combination of United States Air Force (USAF) ground facilities and equipment, both fixed and tactical, with associated avionics, personnel, and procedures that provide air traffic control to U S A F/Department of Defense worldwide flying missions.
Air Traffic Control and Landing Systems (ATCALS)
based on a global network of satellites that transmit radio signals from medium earth orbit.
Satellite Navigation (SATNAV)
In many FIRs in the AFI Region, both fixed and mobile aviation communication systems have either not been implemented or operate well below the required reliability
In-flight Broadband
This has an impact on the proper provision of Air Traffic Services, especially with regard to
Flight Information Service (FIS).
software platform that is fully-scalable, open architecture that seamlessly integrates legacy and new technology within your operational environment—maximizing efficiency, performance, and cost-effectiveness.
Advanced Information Management (AIM)
