An example of ATL Aircraft design capabilities is Iron Maiden, Edforce One.  To accomplish Iron Maiden an EASA STC, European Aviation Safety Agency Supplementary Type Certificate was obtained.  In addition ATL can include FAA, Federal Aviation Administration and CAA Civil Aviation Authority certification.

This particular example of Modification Programmes required the design of a new LOPA, Layout of Passenger Accommodation with associated SEPs Safety Equipment Plans and aircraft Air Conditioning reworks and galley reworks.  In addition, Avionics, Electrical Power, Smoke Detection and Camera surveillance were introduced to achieve a jewel amongst aircraft conversions, the Astraeus Boeing aircraft from an all Passenger Configuration to a Quick Change Combi.  This enterprise was challenging and required a mixture of skills that demonstrated ATL’s attention to detail and commitment to meeting deadlines.  Iron Maiden Edforce One illustrates the aircraft livery work that ATL can accomplish.  Aircraft livery change and mandatory aircraft markings required modification action the like of which ATL will accomplish in quick time and for a competitive rate.

ATL will deal with all aspects of the Aircraft import and Helicopter importation into the United Kingdom or other European registers working in collaboration with Part 145 approved companies.  This necessitates aircraft records research and the introduction of all necessary Aircraft Modifications to meet Regulatory Authorities additional requirements including Avionics modifications, Aircraft Repairs and associated Aircraft Stress Analysis.  ATL’s CVE’s, Compliance Verification Engineers in conjunction with ATL’s Office of Airworthiness envelop all aspects of avionics, structures and interiors airworthiness.

Ministry of Defence (MoD) DAOS, Design Approved Organisations Scheme approval is held by ATL allowing for compilation of Draft Aircraft Modifications and Form 100 certification with associated Safety Case.  The DAOS is defined in Defence Standards, Def Stan 05-123 and is managed on behalf of the MAA, Military Aviation Authority by Technical Approvals (DAOS) at MoD Abbey Wood.  The department provides for independent assessment of the competence of Defence Contractors and Service Organisations involved in aircraft design, aircraft equipment design or airborne ordnance.

AutoCAD Computer Aided Design

Document control at ATL is managed by InnoCielo Teamwork Software and maintained in accordance with ISO 9001 / 2000.  Work is produced using AutoCAD Computer Aided Design system, Finite Element Stress Analysis software, Microsoft Office Word, Excel and Projects.  This package allows ATL to present documents and avionics drawings, structures and interiors drawings to a very high standard.

Human Resource is maintained by niceHR, http://www.nicehr.co.uk/ and IIP, Investors In people.  ATL has been awarded and maintained their Investor in People certificate, recognised March 2006 http://www.investorsinpeople.co.uk/Pages/Home.aspx. 

To make effective Health and Safety and environmental issues ATL require employees to become involved and committed.  To assist in this endeavour ATL provides support and has allocated responsibilities to employees to provide clear direction and control of health and safety and environmental issues.

QAR Quick Access Recorders

Aerobytes and Flight Data Services use ATL exclusively for the certification of their units on aircraft including, Airbus, Avions de Transport Régional (ATR), British Aerospace (BAe), Bombardier, Cessna, De Havilland, Embraer, Fokker, SAAB, Shorts and the Avro Vulcan. http://www.aerobytes.co.uk/; http://www.flightdataservices.co.uk/

Satellite Communication certification

In association with Blue Sky Network Satcom ATL provides EASA and FAA certification for Satellite Communication on a range of aircraft and rotorcraft.  A list of ATL’s STC and Minor Modifications may be found on http://www.blueskynetwork.com/index.php. 

Avionics upgrades

Latest Avionics upgrades such as CPDLC, Controller Pilot Data Link Communications are within ATL’s scope of approval.  DVD is available on request at link2000@eurocontrol.int.

In addition to certification, ATL provide aircraft Manual updates including Flight Manual, Minimum Equipment List, Electrical Load Analysis, Weight and Balance Schedule, Maintenance Manual and Illustrated Parts Catalogue.

Aviation special projects design

ATL’s versatility can be illustrated by work carried out for Iron Maiden, also Bristow Helicopters (BHL) on behalf of FBS Helicopter Training where a complete avionics replacement on AS350 helicopters was achieved, to avionics replacement B747 passenger and freighter aircraft on a foreign fleet.   ATL’s wide ranging experience of aviation design makes us uniquely placed to tackle Special Projects of all kinds.
