Volocopter has signed multi-year contract with Swiss Aviation Software (Swiss-AS)’ AMOS, Swiss-AS’s maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) software to manage Volocopter’s electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft fleet.
Swiss-AS claims that seamless software integration will ensure continued fleet airworthiness, offer aircraft reliability monitoring and analysis, and act as an interface to Volocopter’s proprietary digital operating system, the VoloIQ.
Fabiano Faccoli, Chief Executive Officer of Swiss Aviation Software, said: “We are looking forward to stepping into the future of urban air mobility with Volocopter. Signing with Volocopter is confirmation that AMOS stands for innovation! All Swiss-AS employees received the news with excitement and we look forward to cooperating with the UAM pioneer Volocopter, who is designing the customer journey from A to Z while complying with the highest safety standards.”
Oliver Reinhardt, Chief Risk & Certification Officer of Volocopter, said: “With Swiss-AS as a partner, Volocopter is making strides to ensure that the maintenance of our VoloCity is managed and executed efficiently and foolproof. The AMOS software has a proven track record in the aviation industry giving us confidence to obtain our Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation (CAMO) and Maintenance Organisation Approval (MOA), which is essential for our entry into service. Its compatibility with our VoloIQ is a must-have to provide outstanding customer service.”
Swiss AS claims that AMOS excels at managing vehicle configuration traceability throughout its life cycle apart from component design/purchase dates, installation/replacement dates, and total operating hours. AMOS also monitors ground handling operations, deploy the relevant tools, and manage ground staff assignments.
