Produce ATA compliant publications
with Eclipse ATA
The Contiem Eclipse ATA solution can provide tools for the creation and publication of a range of the ATA document types from individual Component Maintenance Manuals to much larger Aircraft Maintenance Manuals.
Contiem have tools for use with both Arbortext and FrameMaker for some manual types but the requirements of some of the manual types mean that other manual types are available for Arbortext only.
The current range of manuals we support are:
Arbortext and FrameMaker:
Arbortext only:
For the AIPC, an addition tool is included that will take parts information from an Excel spreadsheet (using a given format) and convert it to markup for the two parts of the AIPC that can then be pasted directly into the AIPC document. This minimises the work required to produce the manual and reduces the risk of errors.
All the applications are provided with standards compliant stylesheets and have variants for the Standard ATA output and for Airbus compliant output.
The applications are also configurable to allow variations to be incorporated where the output is not specified specifically by the ATA iSpec 2200 specification.
IPD generator
The Contiem Eclipse IPD Generator provides a tool for converting to the required markup and comes in two editions for S1000D and for ATA iSpec2200. A map is created to associate content from a spreadsheet (CSV format) to the required markup and this can then be used to generate the required markup from any spreadsheet with the same layout.
Content management
Unlike S1000D, the use of a Content Management System (CMS) is not covered by the ATA specification. Many customers find that they are able to manage without a CMS for their ATA publications.
