This question was addressed to me in an internship interview.

My question is taken from Data Bus Systems topic in division Avionics System Integration of Avionics

Answer 1

Right answer is (d) Used only in America

Easiest explanation: ARINC is a non-profit-making organization in the USA which is run by the civil airlines with industry and establishment representation, which defines systems and equipment specifications in terms of functional requirements, performance and accuracy, input and output interfaces, environmental requirements and physical dimensions and electrical interfaces. For example, air data computers, attitude heading reference systems, INS, communication radio equipment, data bus systems, etc. Although it is a US based company the system standard is worldwide.
