AMS TRAINING

At AMS, we consider that the training of our customers in the operation of our world-class recovery systems to be vital. As such, we offer a comprehensive range of training courses that are suited each individual airports requirement.
Initial training is conducted at our facility in the UK and is offered to all departments at the airport. At our facility, which is located at an International Airport in the UK, we have the only training academy to operate hands on training using a passenger aircraft.

The course syllabus covers, Health & Safety, PPE, Site Preparation, Aircraft Preparations, Equipment Familiarisation, Inflation Procedure, Aircraft Removal and maintenance and servicing of the equipment.

Each training course in the UK is restricted to a maximum number of students. This is to ensure that each member of the team has the opportunity to act as ‘Team Leader’ for the lift of the aircraft. Each aircraft lift is conducted under the guidance of our qualified aircraft recovery instructor. After each lift there is a team debriefing which gives each member of the team the opportunity to ask questions and discuss the lift.

Strict health and Safety rules apply at all times and to ensure the safety of the team, full PPE is provided by AMS.

Theory training also forms an important part of our training course and this is conducted in a fully air-conditioned classroom. All theory training is supported with PowerPoint presentations, videos and actual aircraft recovery operations in which AMS Recovery Engineers have been involved.

Each student will also receive upon arrival a training pack, containing full information on the course syllabus and other useful information about AMS and the course.
Guest speakers, with over 20 years experience in aircraft recovery & salvage operations from an International Airline and Military Establishment can also support theory training.

UK courses are conducted in English and full accommodation and meals are provided. We also provide transport for the airport transfers and this transport is also available for course related visits during the duration of the course.
AMS also offer refresher-training courses at our facility. These courses are based upon the same syllabus as the full course but are generally conduct over a three-day period.

After delivery of a recovery system, AMS provide on site training for the airport. This training is generally made available to a bigger group and our qualified instructors are comfortable in giving instruction to groups of 40 or 50 members.
The on site training courses follow the same syllabus as the UK based training course, as our instructors are fully equipped to support the training using our own electronic presentation equipment.

At the end of each course, all successful members of the team are awarded a Certificate of Proficiency’ which is valid for a period of two years. To date AMS have trained almost 600 people in the use of aircraft recovery equipment.
