It is a commercial form, no more, no less. The truth is that the ATA-106 is NOT a regulatory approval form. Yay! When in doubt, trace your part to Transaero – believe me, they’ll never catch up with you. So aftermarket sellers are off the hook, free and clear to fudge as much trace paperwork as they want. How ‘bout you? Bueller… Bueller?įortunately for those in the aviation aftermarket who’d rather not be bothered, the FAA is stretched too thin to take on yet another regulatory responsibility. Don’t ask me what’s so horrible about government sources – I’m a curious guy, but I’ve yet to have anyone give me a good explanation about that. In the aviation world, an ATA-106 certifies, among other things, that ownership of the part was transferred legally, not involved in an incident, and not obtained from a government source.
New parts are signed on the left, and used parts are signed on the right. Did I say “affidavit”? Yes, as in, “a written statement of fact made under oath, administered by a person who is authorized to do so by law.” So keep on signin’ them bogus ATA-106’s and I’ll visit you in the crossbar hotel on weekends.Īn ATA-106 is similar to an affidavit attesting to the quality of a particular aircraft part.
Guess what, my friend, you have no more authority than I do. And while I’ve been in aviation for a long time, I still lay awake in bed at night worrying that I may not have the legal authority to sign an ATA-106. The proper name of this document is “ATA Specification 106”, but if it’s a Quality issue, you’re talking to the wrong guy I spell it “Kwality” because nobody ever taught me better. It incorporates the previous 1 specs which won't be maintained beyond their final 1999 revisions.Is the ATA-106 material cert a legal document? Can you get in trouble by unauthorized signing – or by faking it?
It established an industry-wide numbering scheme to organize aviation technical documentation as well as content and formatting guidelines for its conventional printed distribution.ĪTA Spec 2100 focused on electronic data exchange implemented in SGML.
These standards provide recommended specifications for the content, structure and deliverables to meet communication requirements of aircraft product technical information.Ĭurrent iSpec 2200 comprises a suite of data specifications and data modules for the digital representation and exchange of technical data. ATA Spec 100 and iSpec 2200 are information standards for aviation maintenance and flight operations published by Airlines for America (formerly Air Transport Association).
