Control Cost

Good documentation is one of the first lines in controlling cost. TPS has helped companies reduce their cost by delivering precise documentation.

Whether it is processes or command media for your employees or product support for your customers the better the documentation the less time your staff spends answering questions.

Work instructions, configuration management

Companies doing work on government contracts need to establish what is called a paper trail. The paper trial is used for auditing by the contract administrator.

The staff at TPS has experience in configuration management and writing work instructions so auditors have an easier and faster way to check for contract compliance and tracking engineering change incorporation.

We can work from your engineering

One of our strong points is we have the staff that can work from engineering drawings and specifications to deliver product support.

We have helped customers develop the materials they needed even when there was no engineering available.

STC support

A supplemental type certificate (STC) is a type certificate (TC) issued when an applicant has received FAA approval to modify an aircraft from its original design. The STC, which incorporates by reference the related TC, approves not only the modification but also how that modification affects the original design.

TPS has experience in STC support by providing documentation for installation and maintenance for a wide range of installations including various avionic systems, oxygen, lighting and corporate interiors.

iSpec 2200 and ATA 100 specifications support

ATA Spec 100 contains format and content guidelines for technical manuals written by aviation manufacturers and suppliers and is used by airlines and other segments of the industry in the maintenance of their respective products. This document provides the industry-wide standard for aircraft systems numbering, often referred to as ATA system or chapter numbers. The format and content guidelines define the data prepared as conventional printed documentation. In 2000, ATA Spec 100 and ATA Spec 2100 were incorporated into ATA iSpec 2200: Information Standards for Aviation Maintenance. ATA Spec 100 and Spec 2100 will not be updated beyond the 1999 revision level.
