  3. MTN Background • In 1985, the Air Transport Association (ATA) engaged operators and industry training personnel and formed the Maintenance Training Sub-Committee (MTSC). • ATA Specification 104 – Guidelines for Aircraft Maintenance Training was drafted in 1986 to outline Aircraft Manufacturers Training programs. ATA Spec 104 describes an approach to the development of training materials, for use by airlines in training aircraft maintenance personnel. It also provides guidelines on basic standards for equipment use by airlines, in the presentation of training materials.

  4. MTN Background (continued) • Post 911 and ATA reorganization many groups and were suspended and the MTSC was one. • Over the next few years, comments were received from both U.S. and European operators regarding the need to again revise Spec 104 which was still being provided by the ATA. • In 2007, the ATA via requests from operators, industry and FAA folks, decided to re-activate and rename the MTSC to the Maintenance Training Network (MTN). • Since re-formation in mid 2007, the MTN has met several times and formed the ATA Spec 104 Working Group to revise and update Spec 104.
