helicopter maintenance industry by providing dedicated functions in the system only relevant for helicopters, such as: • Vibration monitoring to identify early stages of helicopter component degradation; • Dynamic counter options to optimize maintenance control and performance; • Complete suite of engineering requirements to control the helicopter specific maintenance needs; • Management of extensive pooling contracts; • Mission logic (individual system capability set up aligned to the types of missions flown); • In-depth effectivity rule logic to track fleet uniformity or customer preference. DRF Luftrettung can fully rely on AMOS due to AMOS not being in any way limited to specific helicopter types, but covering the wide range of different helicopter OEM requirements. “We are convinced that AMOS is the perfect match for DRF Luftrettung. The fact that the very first AMOS
customer was also an air rescue company — who still relies on AMOS after almost 30 years — reflects the versatility of AMOS to cater for the unique needs of rotary wing as well as fixed wing aircraft,” stated Ronald Schaeuffele Scherer, CEO of Swiss-AS. About DRF Luftrettung: The DRF Group with its headquarters in Filderstadt is one of the largest air rescue organizations in Europe. In 2019, the group carried out a total of 40,738 missions. The crews at 14 of the 35 HEMS (Helicopter Emergency Medical Services) bases in Germany, Austria and Liechtenstein are on standby 24/7, and eight HEMS bases provide helicopters with rescue winches. In all the group operates about 60 helicopters and two Learjets. The Austrian ARA Flugrettung with two HEMS bases was integrated into the DRF Group in 2001, and the Northern HeliCopter GmbH (NHC), which provides air and water rescue services, was acquired in 2019. Furthermore, DRF Luftrettung is
also a member of the AP³ Luftrettung network with its HEMS bases in Balzers/Liechtenstein. In addition, DRF Luftrettung also brings back patients from abroad with its own ambulance aircraft. For the continuous expansion of its vitally important tasks, the non-profit air rescue organization depends on financial support. Today, DRF e.V. is already supported by well over 400,000 sponsors.
