 AMO: Aircraft MOdels Management AMO

ÎAMO is trans-national integrated team :

To manage Simulation Models standardisation
To ensure the exchange between all program “players” of
validated Models according to AP2633 Standard

Î To structure the development process of model

simulation to be :
Consistent with A380 needs ( time, simulation level,
validation & verification, including training)
Cost effective ( avoid duplication of models development)
© AIRBUS FRANCE S.A.S. Tous droits réservés. Document confidentiel.

Mature at Entry In Service (99 % of Dispatch Reliability)

Efficient & consistent in the development and integration of
models

• Airbus standard elaborated by ex Airbus partners for

System Model Simulation Exchange in 1999/2000

• Normalisation Process to fix development (included

operational use) and exchange Model simulation (Doc

 AP2633 : Model Interface AMO

• The interface variables of a simulation model and

environment can be divided into three categories:

1)Those controlling the interface between Environment and

Models – Simulation Variables Mode Control Flow .

2)Those required for the functional operation of the simulation

models – Aircraft Functional Variables Data Flow .

3) Those required defining the Model set-up (or profile)

software variables – Model Profile Variables .
