JOINT AIRCRAFT SYSTEM/COMPONENT CODE TABLE

PREFACE
The Joint Aircraft System/Component (JASC) Code Table is a modified version of the Air Transport Association of America (ATA), Specification 100 code. It was developed by the FAA's, Regulatory Support Division (AFS-600). Over the years, the JASC code format of the ATA Spec 100 code has gained widespread industry acceptance. In a harmonized effort, the FAA’s counterparts in Australia and Canada have adopted the JASC code with only a few exceptions. Some Canadian aircraft manufacturers have also adopted this new standard. This code table is constructed by using the new JASC code four (4) digit format, along with an abbreviated code title. The abbreviated titles have been modified in some cases to clarify the intended use of the accompanying code. This table can be used as a quick reference chart, to assist in the coding and review of aircraft structures or systems data (i.e., Service Difficulty Report (SDR), Accident/Incident Report (AID)). The current coding scheme used in the JASC code was introduced in May 1991, for the technical classification of SDR’s. Its predecessor, the FAA aircraft system/component code, is a similar but more complex eight-digit code, which was developed over 25 years ago. It was constructed around the computer technology of that period. It consisted of a four-digit numerical code plus a four-digit alpha character code to make data retrieval possible. Since that time, computer technology has advanced many folds. Reducing the code from eight to four characters simplifies coding, and in some cases, makes JASC coding match the ATA Specification 100
