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 ATA system or chapter numbers. The
format and content guidelines define the data prepared as conventional
printed documentation. In 2000, ATA Spec 100 and ATA Spec 2100 were
incorporated into ATA spec 2200: Information Standards for Aviation
Maintenance. ATA Spec 100 and Spec 2100 will not be updated beyond the
1999 revision level.
The ATA Chapter numbers
provide a common referencing standard for all commercial aircraft
documentation. This commonality permits greater ease of learning and
understanding for pilots, engineers and maintenance personnel. The
standard numbering system is controlled and published by the Air
Transport Association (Ref FAA and Wikipedia).
In few words, a chapter
referencing number for a Boeing 787 will be the same for a BAe 146. A
Boeing 787 landing gear manual prepared by the manufacturer of the
landing gear will be OHM 32-XX-XX. The number 32 signifies the chapter
corresponding to the landing gear of aircraft. The other numbers after
the 32 will be the subcomponents of the landing gear such as the
downlock link subassembly or the shock strut of the landing gear.
