INCORPORATES ERRATAS 1 AND 2
Purpose of this Report
This document sets forth the desired characteristics for a”carry-on” data loader intended for use with airborne computersinstalled on commercial transport aircraft. The data loader employsa 3-1/2 inch disc as the transport medium. This document providesgeneral and specific design guidance for the development of aportable data loader (PDL) for carry-on application and an airbornedata loader (ADL) for on-aircraft installation. The primaryfunction of the data loader will be uploading data and operationalprograms on airborne computers. A secondary capability of the dataloader is downloading data from airborne computers on the 3-1/2inch magnetic medium. This document describes the desiredcapability of the equipment and the standards necessary to ensureinterchangeability of the 3-1/2 inch magnetic disc medium. Form andfit interchangeability is not needed for the PDL but is desired forthe ADL.
Equipment manufacturers should note that this document aims toencourage them to produce maintenance-free high performanceequipment rather than that of minimum weight and dimension. Theyare at liberty to accomplish this objective by means of designtechniques they consider to be the most appropriate, as theirairline customers are interested primarily in the end result ratherthan the means employed to achieve it.
