What is a T-File?
T-Files are a standard method of delivering parts provisioning data associated with commercial aircraft operations. Most major aircraft manufacturers require that their component parts have provisioning T-Files. T-File data helps provide guidance and recommendations to aircraft operators on the initial level parts that should be available to support operations and delivery of the aircraft.
So what makes up a T-File? T-File contents consist of spares required for repair and overhaul of End Item Parts having one or more associated Component Maintenance Manuals with an IPL. T-Files may include other End Item Part Numbers referred to as embedded end items and each end item must have its own detail parts.
The ability to deliver technically correct T-Files requires more than T-File software and a copy of the specifications. It requires detailed knowledge about the structure and information content of an Illustration Parts List (IPL) as it relates to a T-File. It also requires awareness of T-File delivery nuances that exist across different airframe and engine manufacturers and what “rules of thumb” need to be applied.
