ATA 100 CODE

SPECIFICATIONS

There

are a common referencing standard for all

commercial aircraft documentation. This permits greater
ease of learning and understanding for pilots, aircraft
maintenance technicians, and engineers.

The standard numbering system was published by the Air

Transport Association on June 1, 1956.

While

the ATA 100 numbering system has been

superseded, it continued to be widely used as of 2013,
especially in older documentation for general aviation
aircraft, and printed manuals.

In

2000
the
ATA
Technical
Information
and
Communications Committee (TICC) developed a new
consolidated specification for the commercial aviation
industry, ATA iSpec 2200.

 The main objectives of the new specification are to

minimize cost and effort expended by operators and

manufacturers, improve quality information and
punctuality, and facilitate manufacturers' delivery of
data that meet airline operational needs.

More recently, the international aviation community

developed the S1000D standard, an XML specification for

preparing, managing, and using equipment maintenance
and operations information.

The unique aspect of the chapter numbers is its

relevance for all aircraft.
