MS ams
Aeronautical
Maintenance and Support
prepares attendees to face, successfully, the competitive and
fast changing MRO worldwide business.
With the Master in Aeronautical Maintenance and Support,
ISAE has made a significant improvement to answer to the
current needs of manufacturers, design offices and customers
support departments, airlines, MRO and authorities. MS AMS
is the only one in Europe which addresses both Maintenance
and Integrated Logistics Support for civil and military aviation
business in an integrated program.
■ Organization
■ Aims
The global and booming aviation market is characterized by low
volumes, highly complex products with long lifecycles and high
values, governed by restrictive regulatory requirements, with
constant safety concerns and with a huge growth in the aircraft
maintenance, repair and overhaul business (MRO). MRO plays
a key role for defence and aviation industry encompassing
a wide range of complex activities: engine overhaul, heavy
checks, line maintenance, component maintenance, and major
airframe modifications. Through regular maintenance, MRO
ensures the continued airworthiness and operational safety
of aircraft, and therefore the safety of passengers. Beyond,
it ensures aircrafts meet the rigorous certification, safety, or
standards set by international authorities such as ICAO, EASA
and FAA.
Today, the aviation industry is facing tremendous challenges.
To compete, aviation companies in all segments must
strengthen their ability to increase productivity and production
rates with products and services that meet customer
demands, with a focus on continuous critical assessment of
cost and performance. So, the continued support for MRO is
an intrinsic part of aeronautical and maintenance manager,
including service lifecycle management, service organizations,
configuration management, reducing costs and improving
service quality.
The objectives of the Master in Aeronautical Maintenance and
Support are to provide students with up-to-date exposure to
modern techniques and methods, know-how, regulations and
standards applied in aviation industry, putting the emphasis on
life cycle cost management making services more profitable,
available and reliable.
The master MS AMS aims at providing a wide range of
knowledge from engineering basics to management of
maintenance organisation in the respect of international
regulations within Integrated Logistics Support methods.
Merging academic teachings, up-to-date ILS and Maintenance
concepts delivered by experts from industry and authorities, it

■ Pedagogical approach
First semester: academic session of courses from September
to March.
More than 500 h of lectures, tutorials, practical sessions, CAD,
visits of industries (Airbus Group, Sabena Technics, Liebherr
Aerospace, Air France, DGA, etc.).
Second semester: students have to conduct a professional
thesis in aerospace industry or in laboratory, in France or
abroad, supervised by a tutor from the host organisation
and a professor from ISAE. The thesis is concluded by the
preparation of a report and an oral dissertation in front of jury.
■ Teaching staff
Teaching staff is composed of ISAE’s permanent professors
and experts from aerospace and aviation industry with
aeronautical industrial background (Airbus Group and its
subsidiaries, Air-France, AIA, CEAT, Turboméca, Safran,
Sogerma, Sogitec, etc.) or from airworthiness authorities
(Bureau Veritas, DGAC) related to maintenance vouch for the
quality of teaching dispensed.
■ Syllabus
Introducing Integrated Logistics Support concepts, definitions
and tools, the MS AMS syllabus offers a comprehensive
teaching program with 2 options: structure, avionics. Beyond
the two options, the program makes a focus on ILS to meet
requirements and interests of the aviation Industry.

TESTIMONies
Muriel FORT, France, internship at Airbus Toulouse,
Student 2013-2014
Why did you choose ISAE and apply for our master ? What were
your objectives ?
Before joining the AMS Master’s Degree course, I worked for 8
years in Toulouse in the mobile telecommunications industry,
within a company which unfortunately did not survive in this very
aggressive and competitive environment.
I was then left with a simple and challenging question: what to
do next?
Applying for this Master’s Degree looked like an incredible
opportunity to discover a new sector of activity, in an internationally
recognised school providing strong assets to find a job in
aeronautical companies. It was clear to me that this would be the
best way to prepare me to step in the aeronautical industry.
According to your experience, which are the strong assets of the
Master you did ?
Due to the general quality of the courses, the diversity of
professional experiences shared by the teachers and a consistently
good atmosphere within the class, I really appreciated attending
this AMS Master’s course.
Graduating is just the beginning. This does not mean you already
know everything, but the background provided gives you a very
good way to start.
Coming from another industry, I realised that this Master’s Degree
provided me with all the key concepts to understand the challenges
I would face and adapt myself to the maintenance and support
environment.
Which are your career plans ?
My internship allowed me to gain better knowledge in the scheduled
maintenance environment and I would like to acquire further expertise
2
in this area. Cost and availability are strong drivers for optimization in
the commercial aircraft maintenance program, so, providing airlines
with a smart, adapted, economical and above all, a safe maintenance
schedule is a difficult and motivating challenge.
Andrej SIMCENKO, Lithuania, Sales engineer at
Dedienne Aerospace, Graduated in 2011
Why did you choose ISAE and apply for our master ? What were
your objectives ?
I chose ISAE advanced master AMS because of two reasons: 1.
Maintenance is much more interesting than manufacture, because
work itself moves you towards new challenges every single day.
Every day you experience something new, always trying to find new
approaches to given tasks that might ease up the process, etc. it’s motivating! 2. I have passion for aviation in general - I cannot
imagine myself without it, and here in Toulouse, in the heart of
European civil aviation I really feel like at home.
According to your experience, which are the strong assets of the
Master you did ?
One of the strong key points is that people who gave us lectures
were not just professors with theoretical knowledge, but simple
guys who work on their subject that puts food on their table, and
now they come to us, to transfer their knowledge gained not
through reading endless number of books, but having valuable
experience in their work domain.
Which are your career plans ?
Stay in France. I have my contract signed with company in Toulouse
that manufactures ground support equipment and tooling for
aircrafts. I think that it’s good start for my professional life because
over here I’m seeing equipment that is dedicated to perform
maintenance. But I’m sure, that if not for this master in ISAE, I
would never been able to find something even close like this!
