AEEC
• The Airlines Electronic Engineering Committee (AEEC) is an
international standards organization, comprised of representatives from
the major world airlines.
• Their main activity is the standardization of avionics form, fit, function
and interfaces.
• The most widely known AEEC standards are ARINC documents
ARINC
• ARINC is a private company that provides
• Communications and information processing services for the aviation
and travel industries
• The AEEC standards are generally administered by ARINC
Cabin Equipment Interfaces (CEI)
• The CEI is the AEEC subcommittee that develops the cabin standards
• The objective of the CEI committee is to define standard interfaces and
design guidelines for cabin equipment
• The primary CEI standards series is ARINC 628 - Founded in 1992

PROJECT PAPER 485 - HEAD END EQUIPMENT PROTOCOL
•
This is yet to be a released document (ARINC 485 when published).
Addresses various data interface definitions between IFE LRU’s
•
Draft 3 nearing publication
ARINC Standards & Industry Strategy
•
The ARINC supplement process allows for new proposals to be
considered for published material
•
Regular CEI meetings are a good forum for raising issues at a cabin
industry level
•
Next ARINC 628 meeting is scheduled for February 21-23 in New
Orleans
