Mission wear aware
Penalty factors built into planning
Helicopters
Trusted by 60+ operators across 3 continents
Aligned with EASA standards
Helicopters
SAM CMMS aligns airworthiness, component logic, and maintenance execution for helicopter operators and CAMO/CAO/Part-145 teams, reflecting the wear patterns and rotorcraft configuration driven by mission profiles.
Component-focused
Grouping and linked maintenance tasks
Ready to dispatch
Forecast visibility for critical inspections
Built for rotorcraft realities
Keep helicopter fleets safe in high-load operations
SAM is tailored to helicopter maintenance complexity, from mission-driven component wear to configuration-dependent tasks, so maintenance planning reflects true operational stress.
- Apply penalty factors to match demanding mission profiles
- Track grouped components as operational systems, not isolated parts
- Link maintenance tasks directly to component behavior and limits
Common challenges
Mission challenge
Sling, hoist, and utility missions can rapidly change component life assumptions.
Planning challenge
Disconnected tools make it hard to keep tasks aligned with real component status.
Availability challenge
Unexpected maintenance events directly impact dispatch reliability and revenue.
How SAM helps
Penalty Factors
Automatically apply mission-driven factors so wear reflects real helicopter usage.
Component Grouping
Track linked rotorcraft systems as grouped operational components.
Task-to-Component Logic
Bind maintenance actions directly to component behavior and configuration.
Getting started
01
Model mission profiles
Define usage patterns so maintenance reflects actual rotorcraft demand.
02
Track grouped systems
Keep connected components aligned during planning and execution.
03
Protect dispatch availability
Forecast tasks earlier and reduce unexpected technical downtime.

Built for real-world rotorcraft operations
SAM helps helicopter teams plan around true operational stress, making component, task, and airworthiness control far easier to execute.
"Keep helicopter maintenance aligned with mission reality."
Operational focus
Rotorcraft workflows that reflect real missions
Penalty Factors
SAM applies penalty factors automatically so component usage reflects real helicopter mission stress.
- Apply mission-based penalty factors for sling, hoist, and external-load operations
- Adjust component usage and limits based on real operating conditions
- Ensure replacement timing stays aligned without manual calculations
Component Grouping
SAM groups related rotorcraft components so tracking and planning mirror how systems operate in practice.
- Group components that operate together, such as mission equipment and hoist systems
- Track usage and limits across the full group, not just isolated parts
- Simplify planning and reduce missed removals on interconnected components
Tasks Linked to Components
Maintenance tasks are bound to component usage and configuration, keeping execution aligned with real wear.
- Trigger tasks automatically from component usage and life limits
- Keep task logic aligned when configurations evolve
- Reduce manual tracking for mission-specific maintenance routines
