COMPANY PROFILE

AMS Systems Engineering Ltd is a high profile, specialist-engineering company formed in 1988 and registered in the UK. The company is ISO9001 approved and successfully brings together the highest quality of expertise in design, development, construction and marketing of Aircraft Recovery Systems. These systems enable civil or military airport personnel, faced with an on or off runway incident, to move a disabled aircraft, quickly, safely and without secondary damage, to a safe area, thereby permitting a rapid return to normal operation of the airport.

The Aircraft Crash Recovery Systems developed by AMS represent the latest technology available in both material and system design. The sales and marketing activity is supported by a design department, utilising the latest CAD drawing systems. All design and manufacturing is controlled to ISO9001 quality control procedures, with an after sales support service envied by others in the industry. This enables AMS to control quality and continually improve and develop its innovative products and, above all, supply a cost-effective package designed specifically to meet the needs of the end-user.

In order to maintain this level of quality control and manufacturing skill, AMS subjects its system of air bags and air control systems to a rigid and prolonged series of independent tests to meet the rigorous requirements of the United States Air Force. The tests include durability tests of 100 cycles of operation, product overload, component stressing, pressure holding and environmental test for extreme temperature operation, hydraulic fuel and fungi contamination and, finally, 20 year durability.

After sales support and induction training for the equipment supplied are major criteria for AMS. An established programme of practical training for the lifting and movement of aircraft forms an integral part of the AMS package. Training is undertaken in the UK at a site located close to the sales and marketing operation. A medium sized aircraft in a crash mode is used for hands on training, such activity further supported by classroom instruction by personnel from an established and world-renowned airline.
