Abstract :
The Airplane Information Management System (AIMS) on the Boeing 777 airplane is one of the first applications of modular avionics to commercial aircraft. This paper will discuss AIMS system design goals and objectives; review the resulting system design and operation including capabilities and features; and compare the results of the first two years of operation with these goals and objectives. This paper will also describe some of the important lessons learned during system development and initial airline operation
