ATA2300: Practical training
Presentation
The ATA2300 specification meets the production needs for operating manuals and other documents intended for pilots and aircraft crews. It is the result of joint standardization work carried out by the Aerospace and Defense Industries Association (ASD) and the Air Transport Association (ATA). As such, it implements many concepts from the S1000D standard.
This practical training course aims to provide in-depth knowledge of the methods and rules of the specification so that technical writers can apply it to their projects.

Goals
By the end of the training, you will have acquired the basics of the standard, such as:
- Structured documentation process, from XML writing to publication consultation
- Concepts and data from the ATA2300 specification
- Key steps in managing an ATA2300 documentation project
And you will know how to:
- Analyze the codification of ATA2300 objects: DMC, ICN, PMC, DDN
- Analyze and write a Publication Module (PM) and Data Modules such as “Abnormal Proc,” “Normal Proc,” “System description,” “Annunciation,” and “Limitation”
- Implement a DMRL to start an ATA2300 project

Practical work
Practical work is combined with theoretical presentations to enable trainees to model the topics covered in a concrete manner. One day is dedicated to the implementation (management, editing and publication) of flight documentation.
- Creation and codification of Data Modules
- Declaration of illustrations
- Drafting of Data Modules
- Validation of Data Modules
- Publication of Data Modules
Assessment methods: The trainer will assess the knowledge acquired at the end of the course.
