Describes the baseline operating environment for application software used within Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) and traditional ARINC 700-series avionics. Defines a general-purpose APEX (APplication/EXecutive) interface between the Operating System (O/S) of an avionics computer resource and the application software.
