MAOS is the scheme which the MoD uses to assess the competence of civilian organisations providing airworthiness support to military registered aircraft. The Fleetlands site provides deep maintenance, repair and overhaul for the UK MoD’s Chinook, Lynx and Sea King helicopters. Vector Aerospace is the largest independent rotary wing support provider so far to have achieved MAOS accreditation.
