Purpose

ARINC Report 607 is a direct replacement of the obsolete ARINC Report 403 and is intended to provide guidelines for the design of avionics equipment. It represents the desires of the airline industry, and is intended to be used by avionic equipment designers and airframe manufacturers. This document cannot and does not represent the complete formula for successfully designing and manufacturing a new piece of equipment. It is rather a medley of hints, desires and needs resulting from extensive airline experience. As a consequence, this document may not be and perhaps cannot be compete, but it does include some design philosophy as well as recommended practices on design, materials and conception of systems hopefully of help to the equipment manufacturer in designing avionics equipment for airline service.
