HEIR, GENERAL. Heir at common in the English law. The heir at common law is he who, after his father or ancestor's death has a right to, and is introduced into all his lands, tenements and hereditaments. He must be of the whole blood, not a bastard, alien, &c.
An air data computer (ADC) is a avionics component that assimilates the inputs from an aircraft's external and system sensors and returns a series of calculated results critical to the control of the aircraft. In one compact package, the air data computer performs what a bank of individual instruments were once required to do. Almost all the flight-related information displayed in newer commercial aircraft fitted with glass cockpits is compiled by an air data computer.
ARINC 429. ARINC 429, Mark 33 Digital Information Transfer System (DITS), is the technical standard for the predominant avionics data bus used on most higher-end commercial and transport aircraft. It defines the physical and electrical interfaces of a two-wire data bus and a data protocol to support an aircraft's avionics local area network.
