Implementation of ATA e-Business Standards to facilitate Paperless Operations
Nov 2016, Ken Jones
History – from here
Today – to here
Some of the challenges
� Legacy data is sitting on paper (or scanned PDF like documents).
� Slow, careful change due to regulatory environment
� “That’s how we’ve always done it”
� Even when legacy systems are replaced by new M&E systems, access to data isn’t always easy
� Data quality, “cleanliness”
� Getting data from this system in our company to that system in their company.
ATA e-Business Program
� International standards program for information exchange to support engineering, maintenance, materiel management and flight
operations.
� Open membership
� 120 companies in 33 countries
� Over 800 active individual participants
� Neutral, consensus-based
� Collaborative web site: www.ataebiz.orgfor documents, balloting, calendars, email
History
� 1950’s / 1960’s
� ATA 100 – technical information, ATA numbers
� ATA 200 – material management, IBM punch cards
� Standards Evolved and Expanded
� Changing business needs
� Technological advances (EDI, SGML, XML)
� Today
� Broad suite of industry standards and data definitions
� Long list of adopters
� Standards deeply embedded in industry systems and processes
What were are trying to do
� Vision
� Enable the seamless exchange and availability of digitalinformation throughout the civil aviation industry.
� Mission
� Provide the aviation industry with benchmark information standards in support of aircraft maintenance and operations.
� We are committed to evolving shared standards and promoting implementation to contribute to increased business agility and reduced costs, while maintaining the highest levels of safety.

Spec 2000
iSpec 2200/S1000D
Spec 42
Spec 2300
In Development
ATA, AIA, ASD
Collaboration
(S1000D)
Aircraft Transfer Records
ATA e-Business Specifications
� Spec 2000 “Suite” – Materiel, Reliability, Logbook, Regulatory Data, RFID standards
� iSpec 2200 / S1000D – Technical Information standards
� Illustrated Parts Catalog, Maintenance Manuals, Service Bulletin, MPD, Wiring Manuals, etc.
� Spec 2300 – Flight Operations Data
� Spec 42 – Digital Information Security
� Common Support Data Dictionary
� Definitions, characteristics, tags/identifiers for all data.
� World Airlines & Suppliers Guide
9
Typical Benefits
� Harmonization between different manufacturers, operators, software providers allowing movement of important business data in common formats
� Cost reduction – fewer manual processes
� Cut cost of receiving parts
� Cut cost of returning / exchanging aircraft
� Improve quality of data
� Facilitate the use of digital maintenance tools
� Enhanced record keeping
10
Typical ATA e-Biz Standard?
� Describes content for business information exchange
� Part numbers, dates, procedures, conditions, etc.
� Describes the “business rules” for a function
� Information that must always be provided
� information that must be provided if certain conditions exist
� Information that may be provided
� Uses CSDD to define fields to minimize misuse
� Describes the structure/ formats
� XML, flat file, CSV, etc.
� Messages (PO), Large Files (Provisioning, IPC, AMM, etc), ID data (bar-code, RFID, etc.)
11
Why XML?
� XML helps us to separate the structure from the content.
� Separate the formatting from the content
� Make the data application neutral
� Allow additional format validation using parsers, based on Schemas
� Allows hierarchy / relationships to be better depicted
� Easier to support from corporate databases

Electronic Aircraft Transfer
Records Project Team
Aircraft Transfer Records
� Charter:
The Aircraft Transfer Records Working Group (ATRWG) is responsible to identify, evaluate and develop electronic data exchange standards for information associated with the transfer, return and re-delivery of an aircraft. The use of these electronic records is envisioned by lessors, lessees, buyers and sellers, including importing the data into the receiving operator’s systems to reduce errors and rekeying of data
21
Active Participants
� Manufacturers: Airbus, Boeing, Embraer, GE Engines (some component MFRs early on)
� Operators: AA, Atlas, FedEx, KLM, QANTAS, Finnair, United
� Solution Providers: AerData, SwissAviationSoftware, CloudCards, JANA
� Lessors: GE Capital, AerCap
� IATA
22
Electronic Aircraft Transfer Records
23
� Which documents would best lend themselves to becoming fully electronic? (e.g. XML tagged)
� Which documents would such fully electronic formats add little value? (e.g. scanned & indexed “electronic paper”)
� Reviewed IATA/ICAO/Lessor documents listing requirements. Prioritization methodology (loosely)
� High volume
� Information already often in database or Maintenance Information System
� Important to review in detail during the transfer
Electronic Aircraft Transfer Records
24
� Gained consensus on the following approach
� Develop an electronic “crate” to contain any type and format of document, with metadata (e.g. aircraft serial number, operator, date, etc.)
� Develop detailed electronic exchange format specifications for selected documents
� Push use of (and modify where necessary) other existing specifications
� “Back to birth” concepts would benefit from fully electronic records at aircraft original delivery
Electronic Aircraft Transfer Records
25
� Top Documents/Data Sets in work (to develop fully electronic):
� CRATE – electronic format to carry records, add metadata and facilitate digital signature
� AD Status
� Modification Status (includes SB / MOD / STC )
� Repair / Damage Status
� Installed Parts Status (HT, LLP, OC, CM)
� Maintenance Status (Last Done / Next Due)
� General Aircraft Status
Latest Activities
� Finalized CRATE structure
� Finalized AD Status
� Accomplished Proof of Concept with real data from FedEx to AerData
� Finalizing publication documents and XML
� Expect approval vote by end of Nov
� Publication December
� Next several data sets published by end of first quarter, depending on Proof of Concept

� Example “No Finger Prints” (existing digital ATA XML specifications)
E-ARC
� 8130-3, EASA Form 1, other authorities equivalent
� Developed with participation by airlines, MRO’s, manufacturers, regulatory authorities, and software providers
� An XML format for providing regulatory information
� Approved by FAA, EASA, Transport Canada
� Uses PKI based digital signatures to sign
32
Spec 2000 Ch. 17 – eLogbook
� The “Logbook” dataset
� Flight Log / Journey Log
� Maintenance Log (Faults/Squawks)
� Maintenance Action
� Maintenance Action Task
� Maintenance Action Part Replacement
� Maintenance Release
� Fuel Log
� Service Log
� Maintenance Log Resource
33
New Related Projects
34
� Electronic Work Packages / Task Cards
� There are ATA e-Business specifications for MPD and delivery of original maintenance planning processes
� There is no standard for how various software implementations identify which jobs/tasks are accomplished
� This project is beginning the process for development of such standards
� Configuration Management
� Review formats to facilitate a computer to computer comparison of as-flying aircraft configuration with an allowable configuration file
35
� Summary
So what does it mean?
� Rapid changing environments at the operator –the need to manage change
� New systems / old systems – the need to integrate
� More partners – the need to share
� More information – the need to distill
� Same old cost pressure - the need for reduced cost
� THE NEED TO STANDARDIZE
� THE NEED FOR STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT PARTICIPATION
