Boeing Advanced Troubleshooting Program (ATSP)

Elevate maintenance skills. Reduce downtime. Enhance operational reliability.

Build expert aircraft troubleshooting skills with our Advanced Troubleshooting Program

Boeing’s Advanced Troubleshooting Program (ATSP) is a comprehensive, OEM-led training initiative designed to equip aircraft maintenance professionals with the skills needed to successfully diagnose and resolve faults in Boeing aircraft systems. Boeing Maintenance Training is taking the previously offered Charlie Works course to the next level of troubleshooting tools and techniques.


Through instructor-led lessons, hands-on labs, and real-world fault scenarios, participants will develop advanced diagnostic capabilities, learn to use cutting-edge aircraft troubleshooting tools, and apply data-driven decision-making to improve reliability and reduce downtime.


The program — which is available in both per-seat and group training formats — supports avionics technicians, electricians, mechanics, and engineers seeking to deepen their troubleshooting expertise by preparing them to confidently handle complex, intermittent, and chronic faults in Boeing aircraft.


As aircraft systems become more advanced, maintenance teams need a modern, structured approach to troubleshooting. ATSP helps organizations improve dispatch reliability, reduce no-fault-found removals, strengthen aircraft troubleshooting capability, and support maintenance efficiency, safety, predictive maintenance, and compliance.

ATSP training solutions flightline faults

80% OF ALL FLIGHTLINE FAULTS
are caused by intermittent faults.

Many of these faults are related to electrical wiring and interconnection systems — the most disruptive issue to diagnose and resolve.
