Yes, ATA 51 refers to the "Structures" section in the ATA (Air Transport

Association) 100 classification, which is a standardized system for categorizing

For the Airbus A320, ATA 51 specifically covers "Structures"—this includes the
airframe and various structural components of the aircraft, like fuselage, wings,
empennage (tail section), landing gear, and the associated structural systems.

This section is crucial for the maintenance and inspection of the aircraft's
structural integrity. It would include instructions on repairing, replacing, and
inspecting parts related to the aircraft's overall structure to ensure
airworthiness.
