WELCOME TO THE SUPPLIER TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION (STDO) ON-LINE HELP
GENERAL INFORMATION
Terminology:
STDO
This is the Supplier Technical Documentation On-line, also named Supplier Technical Manuals.
CMMv
It is an acronym for Component Maintenance Manual Vendor (or Supplier).
Aircraft Type
The whole Airbus aircraft programs are considered.
Part Number
It is a 15-character field containing the part number assigned by the manufacturer to identify similar equipment.
ATA Reference
ATA: Air Transport Association.
ATA Reference is composed of a Chapter Number, a Section Number, and a Subject Number.
ATA Chapter: A number that links the aircraft system to a place in the document. It is a 2-digit number (00 up to 99).

Supplier Code
Also called CAGE, NSCM, and FSCM Code.
CAGE: Commercial and Government Entity
NSCM: NATO Supply Code for Manufacturers
CAGE code provides five position alphanumeric codes (detailed in Cataloguing Handbook H4/H8) assigned by the Defence Logistics Services Centre (DLSC) in Battla Creek, Michigan, for the identification and location of U.S. and Canadian manufacturers and Sellers. CAGE codes were formerly titled Federal Supply Codes for Manufacturers (FSCM). For non-U.S. and non-Canadian manufacturers, refer to NATO Supply Codes for Manufacturers (NSCM). In the STDO application, we will use the appellation "Supplier code".
Another source of information to locate suppliers is via the website http://www.bpn.gov/bincs/begin_search.asp. It offers search by name, cage code, etc.
PDF file
Created using Adobe Acrobat, or similar products, PDF (Portable Document Format) is a common used format that is easy to implement and widely accepted. You can view, navigate, print, or �save as� PDF files using the Adobe Acrobat viewer (or Reader).

TDAA document
Technical Data Access Agreement, agreement between AIRBUS and the dedicated Supplier to publish the supplier's data on the AIRBUS website.
Purpose and scope:
To give operators another opportunity to strengthen efficiency in data retrieval & application, Airbus is offering all operators a comprehensive suite of Airbus digital data solutions, which includes also suppliers' data accessible on the Airbus customer portal.
Available on AirbusSupply, the Supplier Technical Documentation service provides an on-line consultation of suppliers' maintenance manuals available to Airlines.
This service allows suppliers, who have signed their TDAA, to:
Search for CMMv by Aircraft Type, Part Number, ATA Reference, Document Type, and Airline Code
Save the search results in Excel format using the �Download� function
View, Print, and �Save As� documents using Acrobat Reader features.
Technical Publication content:
Only the latest CMMv revision issue is available to the operators:
That has been transmitted to Airbus by the document owner (supplier).
For which a technical data access agreement has been signed between the supplier (technical data owner) and Airbus.
Which does not require a U.S. Department of Commerce export license or does not contain data regulated by the U.S. Munitions List.
The current process does not allow to guarantee that the revision available in "Supplier Technical Documentation" is the latest one available.
Airbus is studying an additional procedure allowing to provide in the same tool the ID of the latest revision of a CMM dispatched by the vendor. It will allow informing clearly the customer about validity of a given vendor document
