Abstract:
1. A method for checking an aircraft communication system comprised of a plurality of modules and adapted to be installed in an aircraft under development, the method comprising: building an identification and synchronization database for said aircraft communication system in memory, said database defining functions and characteristics of interfaces between said plurality of modules based on change notes relative to an initial technical definition; defining, in said database, signals configured to be exchanged between said plurality of modules via a plurality of connections interconnecting said interfaces, said signals being defined to be synchronized with each other and to be compatible with a physical materialization of said connections; and checking, before an evaluation of a maturation test of said aircraft communication system, interface consistency for all of said signals of said database using corresponding aircraft identifiers, each of which serves as a specification for avionics installation and includes a logic portion associated with said signals and a physical portion associated with the physical materialization of said connections.
