ATA chapter
ATA Chapter ( English ATA Chapter ) are a classification for the individual systems of an aircraft . All technical equipment of the aircraft is divided into appropriate groups and subgroups, e.g. B. the tanks belong to chapter 28-10: group 28 fuel systems, subgroup 10 storage.
This system can be found on every aircraft that is certified according to FAR 25 and EASA CS-25 . This means that every civil aircraft that is used for passenger transport and / or freight transport and over 5.6 t max. Take-off weight is certified according to these regulations.
The ATA chapter is often part of the part numbers. This enables maintenance personnel, logistics personnel or even the designers to work in a uniform manner and to easily identify the aircraft systems and parts.
The acronym ATA stands for Air Transport Association .
ATA chapter
The ATA chapters are now part of the S1000D and are divided into two main groups:
- Generic (Generic SNS)
- Air vehicle, engines and equipment (SNS)

ATA chapter in aircraft maintenance
In aircraft maintenance as well as in aircraft construction and component production, all manufacturer, maintenance and repair manuals are divided into the so-called "ATA-100 Breakdown".
Affected manuals are e.g. B .:
- AMM (Aircraft Maintenance Manual)
- IPC (Illustrated Parts Catalog)
- ASM (Aircraft Schematic Manual)
- SRM (Structural Repair Manual)
- AWM (Aircraft Wiring Manual)
- CMM (Component Maintenance Manual)
- TEM (Tool and Equipment Manual)
- TSM / AFI (Troubleshooting Manual / Aircraft Fault Isolation (Airbus))
- FIM (Fault Isolation Manual (Boeing))
The number system is divided into three categories
- System / Chapter
- Sub-system / section
- Device / division
An ATA number is broken down as follows z. B. 21-80-03
- ATA Chapter 21
- Section number 8
- Subsection number 0
- Subject number 03
There is also the so-called "Page Block Numbering". Accordingly, a page number is attached to the numbering system, which describes the exact activity to be carried out.
This is divided into the following pages, regardless of the actual pages:
description | page |
---|---|
Description and Operation | 1-99 |
Trouble shooting | 101-199 |
Maintenance Practices | 201-299 |
Servicing | 301-399 |
Removal / installation | 401-499 |
Adjustment / test | 501-599 |
Inspection / Check | 601-699 |
Cleaning / painting | 701-799 |
Approved repairs | 801-899 |
Chapter | 32 | Landing Gear |
Section | 31 | Landing Gear Control |
Subject | 04 | Main Gear Door Latch Mechanism |
page | 201 | First page of "Maintenance Practices" |
