ATA CHAPTER

ATA Description
53 - 5323 Fuselage Internal Stairs

Fuselage

For reports of the internal stairs which are part of the fuselage structure.

24 - 2430 DC Generating System

Electrical Power

The system parts and circuitry other than the generator/alternator and DC generation system regulator used to generate a direct current (DC); or from an alternator, the output of which is rectified to DC. Typical parts are relay, switch, connector, terminal, sensor, reverse current relay, etc. Such systems are more prevalent on light single and twin-engine aircraft.

53 - 5324 Fuselage Fixed Partitions

Fuselage

For reports of the fixed partitions which are part of the fuselage structure.

24 - 2431 Battery Overheat Warning System

Electrical Power

The system parts that sense and warn/indicate of a battery overtemperature condition. Typical parts are sensor, lamp, gauge, etc.

53 - 5330 Fuselage Main, Plate/Skin

Fuselage

For reports of the exterior covering of the fuselage including access covers.

24 - 2432 Battery/Charger System

Electrical Power

The component providing a source of DC voltage and current flow independent of rotating generators and alternators. Typical parts are battery charger, cell, case, post, etc.

53 - 5340 Fuselage Main, Attach Fittings

Fuselage

For reports of the fittings on the fuselage used for the attachment of doors, wings, stabilizers, landinggear, engine and rotor pylons, and the support of equipment within the fuselage. For reports of fuselageattach fittings that can not be specifically identified in JASC codes 5341 through 5347.

24 - 2433 DC Rectifier/Converter

Electrical Power

The component which converts AC current for the using systems.

53 - 5341 Fuselage, Wing Attach Fittings

Fuselage

For reports of the fittings on the fuselage used for the attachment of the wings.

24 - 2434 DC Generator-Alternator

Electrical Power

The engine driven component generating a direct current (DC) or a rectified alternating current for aircraft with DC electrical systems. For reports of alternators on light aircraft with piston engines. Does not include mounting brackets, drive belts and pulleys external to the unit. Typical parts are bearing, housing, coupling, fan, capacitor, drive, brush, seal, clutch, armature and bell, shaft, field winding, case bolt, ground stud, etc.
