maintenance programs
 

does anyone know of a maintenance/component computer program for a small operator that will cover piston and turbine powered helicopters (rins and clycles as well as hours etc)?? we are in need of one asap!! any information would be greatly appreciated....

SaSiMS
 

I have seen the perfect software for you - SaSiMS I will ask my friend who works with them to send you some info. It was developed for the helicopter market originally and has all the functionality you need.

I agree I also use the SaSIMs programe and can recommend it for the use you ask, however the problems i have encountered with it is that it does seem to crash a lot and if there are several people on it printing reports it takes for ever but this may well be caused by a slow server.

We use a superb system for our piston fleet called Aerotrac.
Aerotrac was designed for the smaller aircraft operator and used by CSE Oxford and Police Aviation services and, I think, about twenty other operators worldwide.

Give them a try.

I can recommend IAS system, which we use. Does fixed wings and helos and is modular based (so you can add stores, accounts,ground equipment etc etc it will grow with the company)
It can manage several users at once and is a very stable platform

Why do I like them? Their support is excellent

AMS by Aerosys
 

I hear AMS by Aerosys is very good and understand it is used by FTA at Parafield as well as several other Australian shops. Great program and very easy to use.

I've always thought you rotary wing people were different! What are "rins" and "clycles"?

Thank you to you all for your feed back will take a look at each one of them and see which one is the best!!

As for rins i know it stands for Repative Index Number - what ever that means - i am not an engineer - just asked to find out about programs ;)

Cheers to you all
