ATA numbering system

An aircarft has a lot of parts, manufacturing them is one thing maintaining them is some other level challange. Thus to describe what needs to be done for what part requires a lot of documentation.

The easy way engineers have come up is to name each section of the aircraft as different title numbers.

ATA- Air Traffic association. It was created by people in ATA so called ATA chapters. with 100 chapters ATA

So when some one says ATA chapter 72 it will always mean engine.

ATA 27 flight controls

ATA 32 landing gear

ATA 72 is engine

and so on

If we go even deeper.

ATA 72-00-01 is fan module

ATA 72-00-02 is core module

ATA 72-00-03 is HPT Module

ATA 72-00-04 is LPT module

ATA 72-00-05 is AGB module

and so on

ACARS (Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System)

ACARS This is a neat way used to bypass the intentional or unintentional human error on reporting flight information during or after flight . Before 1978 AD, this information was given via, voice logs, where captain verbally records the phase of flight and time. This brought human error in the data reporting and was extra work to the pilots. What ACARS does is acts as a reporting machine which reports flight information in different phases of flight to the Ground team. Initially ARINC developed this method for just 4 messages per flight, but now it has turned into a robust means of data link between not just aircraft and ground station but also between aircraft. ACARS (Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System) is a data communications system used for air-ground communication between an aircraft and their own operations centers, air traffic control, and national aviation authorities. ACARS can be used anywhere in the world by connecting to a global network of VHF /
