ATA Spec 100: Manufacturers' Technical Data

The Air Transport Association released the newest

version of ATA Spec 100 in 1999.

According to the A4A website, this information will

not be revised and has been combined with ATA
Spec 2100 to produce the ATA iSpec 2200:
Information Standards for Aviation Maintenance
manual.
 The Federal Aviation Administration's JASC (Joint
Aircraft System/Component) code table provides a
modified version of ATA Spec 100.
 ATA Spec 100 contains format and content
guidelines for technical manuals written by aviation
manufacturers and suppliers,

And is used by airlines and other segments of the

industry in the maintenance of their respective
products.
 This document provides the industry wide standard
for aircraft systems numbering, often referred to as
the ATA system or ATA chapter numbers.

The format and content guidelines define the data

prepared as conventional printed documentation.
 Developed by the Air Transport Association, ATA
iSpec 2200 is recognized as the global industry
standard in aviation,

Providing guidelines for the content, structure, and

electronic exchange of information related to
aircraft engineering, maintenance, and flight
operations.
 The data specifications are a collected data
related to:

Maintenance requirements and procedures,

Aircraft configuration control,

And flight operations.

 The iSpec 2200 was developed as a
consolidation between ATA Spec 100 and Spec
2100,

And provides guidance for preparation of

technical documentation related to aircraft
maintenance.

 Fault Reporting Manual.

The flight crew uses the Fault Reporting Manual

(FRM) to improve communication with maintenance
personneL.

The flight crew uses the FRM to get fault codes for
airplane faults.

These faults can be flight deck defects or other

faults.
 The FRM has standard log book write-ups for each
fault code.

The fault code permits faster maintenance when the

airplane lands.

FRM fault codes refer you to the FIM.

 Fault Isolation Manual.

You use the Fault Isolation Manual (FIM) to repair

airplane faults.

You start the fault isolation process with FRM fault

codes or a fault description.

The FIM wiII identify the maintenance action(s) to

correct the fault.
 BITE Manual.

You use the BITE manual to get fault data from the
airplane built in test equipment.

If you start the fault isolation process with observed

faults, the BITE manual will identify which observed
faults need data from the built in test equipment.

The BITE manual has the BITE procedures from the

FIM.
 Structural Repair Manual

The Structural Repair Manual (SRM) supplies

descriptive information and specific instructions to
help in field repair of airplane structure.

The SRM is not customized.

 It has data relative to these areas:

 AMM PART I
INTRODUCTION
The Airplane Maintenance Manual (AMM) Part 1 is the
first of the two parts of the AMM.

It is called the Systems Description Section (SDS).

Both Part I and Part II of the AMM show the

configuration of the airplanes in an operator's fleet.

They have frequent revisions for improvements and for

configuration changes.
 Purpose.

The SDS gives descriptions of the interfaces, function,

and operation of the airplane systems and
subsystems.

You use these descriptions to become familiar with

the airplane systems so that you can do fault
isolation and system maintenance.

The SDS content can be used as a training manual.

 Organization.

The SDS uses text/graphic paravisuals (page

sets).

Each graphic has one or more pages of text

that describe the information on the
graphic.
 The graphic has the primary information and the
associated text page(s) have the support
information or explanations.

The SDS uses a horizontal (sometimes called

landscape) format.
 Divisions.

The SDS organization is by ATA chapter (system) or

chapter/section (subsystem).

Each ATA chapter/section usually defines an

airplane system or subsystem.
 Each subject of the SDS has this information:

Purpose/introduction.

General description.

Component location.

Interface.

Operation.

Functional description.

Training information points (TIPs).

AMM PART II - INTRODUCTION

Part II of the AMM contains the maintenances

practices and procedures to do maintenance on
the airplane.
 Chapter Numbering System.

The manual has a tab section for each ATA chapter.

Within each tab section, the manual has more divisions

that use the assigned subject number (ASN) list number
XX-YY-ZZ, where:

XX is the ATA chapter

YY is the subsystem or sub-subsystem

ZZ is the unit (component).

 The table of contents for each chapter lists the
maintenance procedures in numerical order for
each subsystem and sub-subsystem.

For each subsystem or sub-subsystem, the

maintenance tasks are in alphabetical order based
on the page numbers described below.
 Page Numbering System

Each page has two numbers in the Lower right corner:

The ASN and,

A topic page number.

Each topics is made up of a page block.

Each page block is for a special type of information.
