Purpose and Scope
This document defines a standard Cockpit Display System (CDS)interface intended for all types of aircraft installations. Theprimary objective is to minimize the cost to the airlines, directlyor indirectly, by accomplishing the following:
• Minimize the cost of acquiring new avionic systems to theextent it is driven by the cost of CDS development.
• Minimize the cost of adding new display function to thecockpit during the life of an aircraft.
• Minimize the cost of managing hardware obsolescence in an areaof rapidly evolving technology.
• Introduce interactivity to the cockpit, thus providing a basisfor airframe manufacturers to standardize the Human MachineInterface (HMI) in the cockpit.
This document defines two external interfaces between the CDSand the aircraft systems. The first is the interface between theavionics equipment (user systems) and the display system graphicsgenerators. The second is a means by which symbology and itsrelated behavior are defined. A User Application is defined as asystem that transmits data to the CDS, which in turn can bedisplayed as visual graphical information to the flight deck crew.A User Application can also include software or hardware thatreceives input from interactive graphics managed by the CDS.
The CDS provides graphical and interactive services to UserApplications within the flight deck environment. When combined withdata from User Applications, it should display graphical images tothe flight deck crew.
This document defines an interface between the CDS and UserApplications (UA).
The application that controls the interface is defined to bewithin the CDS.
This document does not specify the “look and feel” of anygraphical information.
