Initially started as ATA Spec 100, later as Spec 2100 and at present it is known as iSpec 2200, the standard is a guidance in preparing technical documentation. Standards have evolved with time and have seen lots of enhancements. The commonality is for the ease of learning and understanding for pilots, aircraft maintenance technicians, and engineers.Īirlines for America (A4A), formerly known as Air Transport Association of America (ATA), is an American trade association and is one of the pioneers for standardization.

This need for a common standard has promulgated beyond maintenance to cater to flight operations and beyond. Williams, Barbara (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)Since aircraft operate worldwide and change hands globally, there was always a need for a common standard in maintaining the engineering and maintenance information. ISpec 2200: Information Standards for Aviation MaintenanceĪir Transport Association of America - LCNA: MIT affiliates should access this dataset by logging into Dataverse and selecting Massachusetts Institute of Technology. ATA Spec 100 and Spec 2100 will not be updated beyond the 1999 revision level. In 2000, ATA Spec 100 and ATA Spec 2100 were incorporated into ATA iSpec 2200: Information Standards for Aviation Maintenance. The purchase of this publication automatically includes an extract from the Common Support Data Dictionary (CSDD) for the entries that pertain to iSpec 2200. Document-Type Definitions (DTDs) are included. It includes the industry-wide standard for numbering aircraft systems, as well as content and electronic formatting specifications for technical documents, regardless of delivery medium. Recognizing the synergies between ATA Spec 100 and Spec 2100, the industry developed this consolidated specification for guidance in preparing technical documentation in support of aircraft maintenance. The objective of iSpec 2200 is to minimize cost and effort expended by operators and manufacturers, improve information quality and timeliness, and facilitate manufacturers' delivery of data that meets airline operational needs. It consists of a suite of data specifications pertaining to maintenance requirements and procedures and aircraft configuration control.

ATA iSpec 2200 is a global aviation industry standard for the content, structure, and electronic exchange of aircraft engineering and maintenance information.
