MANUAL ARRANGEMENT AND NUMBERING SYSTEM

The Maintenance Manual is divided into chapters and groups of chapters. Each group and every chapter has a tab
provided for ease of location. The chapterization separates the manual into the primary functions and systems of
the airplane. The chapters are further divided into sections and subjects to provide for subsystem and individual
unit breakout. Each chapter, section and subject is identified by an assigned number. Each page carries the
assigned subject number, page number, page code and the revision date.

In addition, the Power Plant chapters are issued in a self-contained set or sets (as applicable, if you have more
than one engine type in your model fleet). These pages are further identified by an engine sub-logo, for example
PW2000 SERIES ENGINES or RB211-535 SERIES ENGINES, placed to the right of the Maintenance Manual logo at
the top of the page. The numbering system is described in detail in the paragraphs that follow.

Chapter Numbering
Chapterization of the maintenance manual has provided a functional breakdown of the entire airplane. The chapter
breakdown numbering system uses a three element number (XX-XX-XX). It provides for dividing the material into
Chapters, Sections, and Subjects.

The three elements of the indicator each contain two digits.

For example:

757 General Familiarization (7-2005) ATA 06 - Page 5 For Self-Paced Training Purposes Only

Aircraft Technical Books, LLC

[Link]
 AeroEd LLC – Aviation Education Resource

Chapter Numbering (Continued):

The chapter number (1st element) and the first number of the section number (2nd element) are assigned by ATA
Specification No. 100. Material which is applicable to a system as a whole uses zeros in the 2nd and 3rd elements
of the numbers. That is, the chapter number followed by "-00-00".

For example:

AMM 22-00-00/001 (Auto Flight) is used for general description information which provides an outline breakdown
of the sections in the chapter.

Effectivity and Configuration Numbering

On each page, there is effectivity data at the lower, inner margin (Fig. 1). When a page applies to all airplanes, the
word ALL is in the effectivity block. If the data does not apply to all airplanes, then the effectivity will be one of
these types:

1. Physical description - A description of the differences that you can see.

When a physical description is used, a reference to the applicable service bulletin and PRR (production
change) are provided when that is possible. This is done primarily for the benefit of airline engineering,
and maintenance planning groups.

For example: AIRPLANES WITH VALVE INSTALLED AWAY FROM THE FILTER (POST-SB 28A-17 OR
PRR 54009) AIRPLANES WITH VALVE INSTALLED NEAR THE FILTER (PRE-SB 28A-17)

2. Component dash number - The last digits of the identification number that are on an electrical box.

3. Airplane effectivity numbers - The airline three-letter code, and the numbers or letters that Boeing and
each airline agreed on to identify each airplane. If the effectivity is applicable to all subsequent airplanes,
the last digits will be 999.

For example: 205-999 indicates airplane 205 and all subsequent airplanes.

Each paragraph can have an effectivity. Each effectivity is in upper-case letters, on the first line of the
paragraph.

Effectivity and Configuration Numbering (Continued):

When effectivity differences are extensive and the preceding method becomes cumbersome and distracting from
the continuity of subject matter, new page blocks are created. These added page blocks are identified by the
addition of a configuration code (CONFIG) immediately above the page number. A previously issued page block is
re-issued to incorporate the configuration code as shown in Fig. 1. Configuration codes are issued at page block
level only. They are usually used when a change to the airplane results in a major change to the manual.
Configuration codes are typically used when there are multiple configurations of page block applicable to a
customer's fleet.

In some instances, you can have CONFIGs that are provided as place holders. These procedures will be indicated
as "NOT USED" in the effectivity block in the lower left corner of the page (Fig. 1).

For the effectivity information in the power plant (70 series) chapters of the manual, two situations can exist. The
word ALL placed in the effectivity block on a page means that the page pertains to either all airplanes or all
engines, whichever the case may be. When the effectivity is limited to a system or component that remains with
the airplane during the power plant replacement, the effectivity is expressed in a manner described in the
preceding paragraphs. When a manual section, page, step or illustration is limited to an engine type or component,
the effectivity is given using the engine model, physical difference, or part number.

The word "ALL" in the effectivity block on a page means that the page pertains to all airplanes (if you have only
one engine type in your model fleet) or 2) All engines (if you have multiple engine types in your model fleet),
whichever the case may be.

Page Numbering
Each page block has its own page numbers. The page numbers are in the lower right corner of each page. The
page blocks categorize the tasks that they contain. The page blocks are defined by ATA Specification 100:

NOMENCLATURE PAGE BLOCK

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (D&O) 1 to 99
FAULT ISOLATION (FI) 101 to 199
MAINTENANCE PRACTICES (MP) 201 to 299
SERVICING (SRV) 301 to 399
REMOVAL/INSTALLATION (R/I) 401 to 499
ADJUSTMENT/TEST (A/T) 501 to 599
INSPECTION/CHECK (I/C) 601 to 699
CLEANING/PAINTING (C/P) 701 to 799
APPROVED REPAIRS (AR) 801 to 899

When it is convenient for the user to have different types of tasks in one page block, MAINTENANCE PRACTICES,
the 201-to-299 page block, is used.
