available:
A. Access door / panels
This is a specific code allocated that allows the localization of the part in the IPC.
B. Airworthiness Directive (AD)
The reference of the AD is listed just after the PN concerned by the limitation. It is possible to have the
“Consigne de Navigabilite”(CN) in addition.
C. Alpha—numerical index
This allows the search from the part number to the affected IPC figure where the part number is listed.
D. Alternate
This allows the replacement of the basic part number by re-worked one.
E. As required (AR)
This value is shown in the IPC when the user installs the part in accordance with the need on the A/C. e.g.
For certain bulk items such as items cut from raw stock, or common hardware items with large quantity
usage and for items such as shims where quantity must be determined upon installation,
F. Attaching parts
Attaching parts are listed immediately following the item they attach and at the same indenture level. The
first item is preceded by the phrase “Attaching parts” and the last one is followed by the symbol “***”.
Quantity shown is the quantity required to attached one part.
G. BUY
"BUY PN XXXXXXXX" identifies an item, which is recommended as spares purposes.
H. Buyer Furnished Equipment (BFE)
Identifies a part, which is furnished by the customer to AIRBUS to be installed in the A/C such as
megaphone, life vest etc….

DESCRIPTION OF THE IPC CONTENT

M. Detailed Parts List (DPL)

The DPL is a part of the IPC where end items parts are listed in accordance with an item sequence. These
parts are listed at the first item with the indenture 1. A generic text like “FOR OPERATING LIMITS/DATA,
REFER TO xx xx xx xx FOR NHA” is listed after each part.
Their respective breakdown parts are listed in cascade in the detailed figure
N. Effectivity (EFF)
The effectivity shows on which A/C the parts can be installed. The effectivity is given in FSN (Fleet Serial
Number).
The effectivity shown is called “SPARES Effectivity”. The Spares effectivity is given in accordance with the
interchangeability code between the parts and the A/C configuration.
The absence of a restrictive effectivity at all items in one IPC figure indicates that the part is effective for
all aircraft of a customer’s fleet.
The absence of a restrictive effectivity at one item in one IPC figure indicates that the part is effective for
the same A/C available at the item above with an effectivity.

NOTE: In addition, refer to “Interchangeability”, “Restrictive Usage” (RU) and “Effectivity Engine Serial
Number” (EFF//ESN) paragraphs.

O. Effectivity Engine Serial Number (ESN)

This concerns only the Power Plant data merged in the AIRBUS IPC. The evolutions of the PIPC data
have an effectivity in Engine Serial Number under the engine manufacturer directives. The Spares
Effectivity between parts is not shown in FSN in the AIRBUS IPC, but replaced by a standard “EFF//
ESN””. Information related to the parts replacement is detailed in the Vendor Service Bulletin only.
P. ETOPS
To identify parts with a restricted usage on ETOPS (Extended range Twin engine OperaTionS) aircraft,
the following notes appear in the IPC as follows:
“NOT APPROVED FOR ETOPS”
“NOT APPROVED FOR ETOPS AFTER (date)”
“NOT APPROVED FOR ETOPS WITHOUT (SB xxxx) AFTER (date)”

NOTE: When the ETOPS notes is shown in the IPC immediately below the description corresponding to
the basic PN, then the ETOPS information is linked to the basic PN.

NOTE: When the ETOPS note is shown in the IPC immediately below the RPLD BY or I/W PN, then the
ETOPS information is linked only to this PN.

NOTE: ETOPS notes are in accordance with the ETOPS parts list which is extracted from the latest
available Configuration, Maintenance and Procedures document (CMP) reference: AI/EA 3000.
ETOPS limitations related to the engines are not listed in the AIRBUS IPC.

NOTE: Even though a part may be physically interchangeable with an ETOPS part, it must not be in-
stalled on an ETOPS aircraft.

Q. Figure number (FGN)

The figure number refers to the corresponding illustration. Should modifications or system variants
necessitate an additional figure, this will be introduced with a sequential alpha-suffix, for example, a
modified version of Figure 1 would be Figure 1A; further variant of the same figure would be Figure 1B,
and so on.
R. Functional Item Number (FIN)
Each part with precise function within an A/C system is defined with a specific identifier called FIN. The
FIN is unique in the A/C.
S. Illustrations (ILL)
The illustrations are parts of the IPC where the parts listed in the DPL are illustrated. In addition, the
illustrations show:

the location
- of the item by ribs in pylons, wings, vertical and horizontal stabilizers, by frames in
fuselage by zones.
the continuation
- of the system when the first 6 digits are different.
FIN, access
- door and panels ref.
the data
- content of some IPC figures related to the Power Plant Data.
Illustrations are not customized and some items are not in the detailed parts list.
T. Indenture (IDENT)
The indenture shows the relation between an assembly and its breakdown parts. The relation is shown by
one or several dots (“.”) in accordance with the structure of the assembly.
U. Interchangeability (INC)
The spares effectivity shown in the IPC, is the result of the combination between parts installed at the
A/C definition and the interchangeability code between these parts. The interchangeability code is not
available in the IPC. Oonly the spares effectivity shows on which A/C (in FSN), the part can be installed as
spares. The A/C configuration is not affected.

NOTE: Refer to EFFECTIVITY paragraph.

V. Item number (ITEM)

An item number is assigned to each part listed in the detailed parts list. Item numbers are broken in
sequence for the insertion of additional items.
Item number preceded by “-” is not illustrated.
W. Local Manufacturer (LM)
"*LM*" identifies a part which can be locally manufactured by the airlines. Raw materials used are listed in
the IPC with their respective quantity or dimensions.
X. Manufacturer code (MNFR)
Five-digit code proceeded by the letter “V” shown for Vendor item and AIRBUS standard parts

NOTE: The vendor names and addresses corresponding to each vendor code is available.

NOTE: when vendor code is a standardization office, optional vendors are available

Y. Next Higher Assembly (SEE XX XX XX FOR NHA)

This cross-reference indicates the figure number where the lead item is listed in quantity.
Z. Not illustrated part
Parts with item numbers preceded by a dash are not illustrated.
AA. Not Procurable (NP)
“NP” indicates that this item is not procurable. The reference shown in the IPC is fictitious and is not
systematically based on an existing drawing. Drawing references and effectivity are managed in DAC/DNI
or AIDA only.

NOTE: In AIDA,search based on a “NP” reference in the IPC, can be “Negative search result“.

AB. Optional (OPT)

Fully replaceable with the basic part in all locations on the A/C.
AC. Overlength
Such a part number requires the introduction of a dummy part number with a cross reference to the
overlength part number. This will be shown in the parts list as follows: "ORDER OVRLGTH MPN
XXXXXXXXXX (VXXXXX)"
AD. Oversize/undersize (OVR)
Identifies the oversize or undersize part to replace the part installed in line maintenance. Parts shown
as "oversize/undersize" in the IPC, indicate the parts which can be used on the A/C in the order given.
The order is defined from the part removed. When the part removed has to be changed, the mechanic
must select the following part listed in the IPC. To respect correct installation, mechanic has to follow the
instructions given on the installation drawings. These parts are listed in the IPC. Except for the basic part,
all other parts are listed in the IPC as not illustrated items. The items concerned are in sequence 1 by 1

DESCRIPTION OF THE IPC CONTENT

(e.g. 010, -011, -012). Each part is separated by "OVERSIZE/UNDERSIZE" in the "NOMENCLATURE"
column of the DPL.
AE. Part Number (PN)
Part identifier containing up to 15 digits (combination of alpha, numeric and dash as applicable). When the
part identifier is more than 15 digits, refer to Overlength paragraph.
Part Numbers shown in this IPC are ATA Spec2000 conform, i.e. PNs having a dash (-) are only permitted
between Numeric-Numeric characters. The dash is not permitted and not used between Alpha-Numeric
nor Alpha-Alpha nor Numeric-Alpha characters. However Vendor PNs may not necessarily adhere to
the ATA Spec2000 and hence could have a dash (-) within a PN where the corresponding PN shown in
the IPC does not. Nevertheless the parts are to be considered as being the same. For example Vendor
PN AB1C-23-4 or Vendor PN A-B1C23-4 or Vendor PN AB1-C23-4 will be written in this IPC as PN
AB1C23-4.

NOTE: For AirN@v users: From the PN window, navigation to the SM, STS, DRWG is available only
when AirN@v used in “On Line”.

AF. Quantity (QTY)

The quantity of the part used in one next higher assembly or installation is available in the DPL. For total
quantity per aircraft for one location refer to alpha-numerical index.

NOTE: In addition, refer to “As required”

AG. Qualified spares (RPLD BY, I/W)

" X RPLD BY Y" (replaced by)
when A/C basically delivered with PN X, the part number X can be replaced by itself or the new PN Y as
spares. This replacement by PN X or PN Y is used without any change in the A/C configuration. When PN
Y is installed as spares, it can be replaced by itself or PN X can be re installed on the same A/C (MSN).
when A/C basically delivered with PN Y, the part number Y can be replaced by itself only as spares. This
replacement is used without any change in the A/C configuration. When PN Y is installed as spares, it can
be replaced by itself only on the same A/C (MSN).
when A/C basically delivered with PN X is changed with PN Y by AIRBUS SERVICE BULLETIN, the A/C
configuration has been changed. Due to the new A/C configuration, the part number Y can be replaced by
itself only as spares.
"Y I/W Z" (Interchangeable With)
When A/C basically delivered with PN Y, the part Y can be replaced by itself or the new PN Z as spares or
vice versa when A/C is basically delivered with PN Z. This replacement is used without any change in the
A/C configuration.

NOTE: In consequence, when a cascade of parts are "X RPLD BY Y" and "Y I/W Z", the data have to be
read as follow:
when A/C basically delivered with PN X, the part number X can be replaced by itself, by PN Y or
the PN Z as spares. This replacement by PN X, PN Y or PN Z is used without any change in the
A/C configuration. When PN Y or PN Z is installed as spares, it can be replaced by itself or PN X
can be re installed on the same A/C (MSN).
when A/C basically delivered with PN Y, the part number Y can be replaced by itself or the PN
Z as spares. This replacement is used without any change in the A/C configuration. When PN
Z is installed as spares, it can be replaced by itself or PN Y can be re installed on the same A/C
(MSN).
when A/C basically delivered with PN X is changed with PN Y by AIRBUS SERVICE BULLETIN,
the A/C configuration has been changed. Due to the new A/C configuration, the part number Y
can be replaced by itself or the PN Z as spares.

AH. Re identification (RE-IDENT)

This shows the final partnumber from a preliminary part given for information only.
AI. Reference item (REF)
