ATA CHAPTERS

ATA chapters
- are a numbering which is a common referencing
standard for commercial aircraft documentation
published by ATA (Air transportation Association).
ATA chapters makes it easy to categorize technical
information and uniformity in presenting for All
manufacturers of aircraft and its components.
 The main objective of creating such codes is to make
uniformity in technical documentation for All Aircraft.
So documents such as Aircraft Maintenance manual
(AMM), Structure Repair manual ( SRM), Master
Minimum Equipment List (MMEL) and Minimum
Equipment List ( MML) will be use the same coding
system for all Aircraft despite it’s manufacturer or the
manufacturing country.
ATA 05 TIME LIMITS AND MAINTENANCE
CHECKS
 sets the time limit and maintenance checks
standard for aviation practices. It basically
includes (a) Schedule maintenance (b)
Unscheduled maintenance.
Scheduled Maintenance Time Limits

Scheduled Maintenance Do at these times

25 hours check At 25 FH from new only. Do the work of
a 100 FH check. Tolerance +/- 2.5
hours.
50 hours check At 50 FH. Or 50 hours after the last
scheduled maintenance check.
Tolerance +/- 5 hours.
100 hours check At 100 FH. Or 100 hours after the last
100 hours or larger check. Tolerance +/-
10 hours.
1000 hours check At 1000 FH. Or 100 hours after the last
