Turkish Aerospace Industries ensures ASD-STE100 compliance

Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI/TUSAŞ) is Turkey's centre of technology in design, development, modernisation, manufacturing, integration and lifecycle support of integrated aerospace systems, including fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft, UAVs and satellites.

TAI asked Shufra to assess the level of compliance of its documentation with the ASD-STE100 specification. Based on the findings, Shufra delivered an advanced training course for the technical writers and other people in the ILS department, providing them with new insights to take compliance to the next level. Writers especially liked the workshop that allowed participants to review and rewrite their own document samples under the guidance of the experienced Dr Frans Wijma who is widely regarded as the leading expert in Simplified Technical English, aviation documentation and multilingual documentation. He gave ASD-STE100 training to over 130 companies worldwide. Customers include Black & Decker, Boeing, Microsoft, Rolls-Royce and Samsung.

Said ILS specialist Mr Halil Kan: "TAI hired Frans to work with our experienced team and help them to improve their ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English skills. Frans helped us to identify areas for improvement both in our own documents and in those supplied by our customers and partners. At the end of the training, we all had learned simple yet effective methods to improve the quality, readability and compliance of our writing. Most importantly, we learned how to scrutinize text for commonly made mistakes and how to balance compliance with optimum readability. We enjoyed working with Frans, who has a pleasant personality and an open mind. I am happy to recommend him to any company that wants to improve its documentation, be it for compliance reasons or to facilitate translation."
