Il video mostra una delle esercitazioni pratiche di cui gli studenti beneficiano presso la struttura di formazione dedicata di AMS nel Regno Unito. In questo esempio, gli studenti utilizzano gli airbag per sollevare la fusoliera di un aeromobile B737 che è stato allestito per rappresentare un guasto al carrello anteriore.
After safely locking the landing gear back into place reinforced roadway is assembled and placed to allow the aircraft to be removed from an off-runway situation, using AMS’s specialist De-Bogging (aircraft towing) kit.
AMS use full size aircraft to provide students with a unique “hands on” experience that has attracted teams from as far afield as New Zealand. Their training is internationally recognised by the aviation industry, endorsed by IATA Airline Members, and over 1,000 students have been trained by AMS since 1988.
Courses are designed to help a wide range of aviation industry specialists and linked organisations, including aircraft recovery teams, fire crews, aircraft engineers and insurance assessors.
All courses focus on a combination of theory and practical work so students are able to reduce potential secondary damage by understanding the impact recovery has on the structure and integrity of the airframe. There is also a significant emphasis on maintaining the safety of the recovery team at all times.
