ARINC 424

ARINC 424 Navigation System, Data Base Standard, is an international standard file format for aircraft navigation data maintained by Airlines Electronic Engineering Committee and published by Aeronautical Radio, Inc. KEYVAN Aviation’s ARINC 424 training provides an understanding of the ARINC 424 standard database features, coding and implementation methods for each individual records and data content. This is included in Phase 1, which trains database coders for Level 1 data houses and basic data entry requirements. Phase 2 of this course is aimed at the flight procedure design or Flight Validation analyst to understand specifics of database coding, limitations and eventual issues with avionics systems and Type 2 DAT Providers and DQR expectations.
