Developed by the Air Transport Association (ATA) The ATA SPEC 2500 standard introduces an industry standard for exchange in electronic formats, standardized for aircraft records. It is intended for use by operators who buy or sell aircraft, or lessors and lessees on lease return, or by aircraft or engine manufacturers on initial delivery. This standard includes a support infrastructure for collecting data for the following datasets, various documents and data related to aircraft, engines or their components, as well as their definitions and business rules:
Aiming to reduce cost, complexity and risk issues with the existing largely paper-based process, the ATA SPEC 2500 standard is designed to standardize the exchange of aircraft records between interested parties or systems worldwide. The standard is designed to address any transferable aircraft record, including data-heavy datasets such as AD status reports and key records such as a certificate.
Previously, no standard existed for record formatting. This often made the output of one system incompatible with the input format of another. To solve this, the ATA SPEC 2500 standard uses extensible markup language (XML), a text-based scripting language known for its simplicity and usability, especially when coding on the Internet. This format of encoding ensures uniformity for data programs of both parties and allows the output and input of information to be recorded using a certain naming convention and format.
The ATA SPEC 2500 standard adopts the use of an XML file to host many separate datasets, both full and partial, XML and non-XML. In this way, it allows the identification of key entities along with the sending company and operator information, ensuring that the top-level information remains unchanged.
Our organization, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it has given for businesses in various sectors, It also provides testing services for aircraft transfer records within the scope of the ATA SPEC 2500 standard.
