  2. Wiring Practice & Standardization Participants • Rob Hofmann, MAS Don Pritchard, Pritchard & Assoc. • Allen Stewart, MAS Brad Hanson, US Airways • Tom Aliffi, Delta Air Lines Eric Wilmoth, SICMA • Roland Schafer, Boeing Don Cook, AT&T Aircraft Div. • Steve Olauson, RCPS Dave Leighton, Boeing • Sheryl Bryant, Boeing Earl Nicks, Arinc • Krag Rodewald, Boeing Marc Schatell, B/E Aerospace • Joe Golley, Sextant

  3. Wiring Practice & Standardization Solution #1 • Continue to develop cabin standards: • via Arinc 628 (CEI) • implement new IACC committee under Arinc • get more industry support (esp. seats & airlines) • Target: end of year for new IACC operational • Focal: Dan Martinec and Rich Salter

  4. New IACC committee Arinc Board of Directors AEEC IACC Others The CEI subcommittee needs to move to report to the new IACC (Int’l Airlines Cabin Comm.) CEI

  5. Wiring Practice & Standardization Solution #2 • Create a top level overview of Arinc 628 to provide to industry (Parts 1-8) • To educate industry of what standards exist & point out future needs • And as a tool for airlines to gain support of IACC • Target: Draft by March 30 (complete), Final provided June 30 at Arinc CEI meeting for review and acceptance. • Focal: Rob Hofmann & Han Gim

  6. 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 ARINC 628 Cabin Equipment Strategy Part 1 - Cabin Mgmt & Entertainment Systems Head End Peripherals 90% - Mostly complete Part 2 - Cabin Mgmt & Entertainment Systems Seat Interfaces 40% - Need support of Industry Part 3 - Aircraft System Interfaces 100% - Complete Part 4A/B - Std Wiring 90% - minor mods required Part 5 - Part Selection & Wire Design & Instl Guidelines Close to complete On- Going Activities Refine Seat Interfaces (Pt 2) Cert Harmonization (??)

Part 6 - Fiber Optic Cable Assembly - General Specification Close to complete Part 7 - Cooling Close to complete Part 8 - Availability Close to complete CSTF & ATA Planning & Priorities for 2000-2001

  7. Wiring Practice & Standardization Solution #3 • Seat inspection/review personnel inconsistency was discussed at length. This inconsistency between the various personnel has been a source of difficulty during the seat inspection. It was mentioned that the current guidelines allow for too much subjective opinion. Arinc 628, Part 5, needs to be adopted as the industry standard and inspection/review personnel need to become familiar with and use this document to reduce subjective inspection results.

  8. Wiring Practice & Standardization Solution #4 • Concentrate on standardization of invisible parts • e.g., Seat box, cables, brackets, shrouds, items not desired to be seen by pax. • Target: Immediately after this meeting via email request from seat suppliers. • Focal: Dan M. (getting specs to seat suppliers) • Target: Ongoing (see solution #1) • Focal: CEI (via Arinc 628 doc.)

  9. Wiring Practice & Standardization Solution #5 • All seat suppliers are to produce their seat assembly and wiring installation drawings with a level of detail that assures manufacturing repeatability and ultimately inspection result repeatability.

  10. Wiring Practice & Standardization Solution #6 • Earl Nicks, from Arinc, once again offered to provide Arinc 628 documents to the various seat suppliers one time free of cost. He also mentioned that Part 5 draft, is available from the Arinc web site. The task of contacting the various seat suppliers to review and comment on Arinc 628, Part 5, was agreed to by all present. The seat supplier responses are to be returned to Earl and Sheryl at wen@arinc.com and sheryl.d.bryant@boeing.com by July 28, 2000. These responses will be reviewed for inclusion into Arinc 628, Part 5. Suggestion was made to meet again during the Aug. 29-31, 2000 Working Group meeting being held at Boeing Recreational Facility in Everett, WA to discuss the changes.

  11. Wiring Practice & Standardization Solution #7 • Seat suppliers concerned about IFE cable length tolerance and available harness length increments. The current range of in-seat harness lengths is from exact length to 4 and 6 inch increments.
