World Test Standard Advanced for A380 Maintenance
The ATEC Series 6 will be used for Airbus A380 maintenance and will be the reference tool for the downloading of on board software on this new aircraft.
For the A380, the ATEC series 6 can also be coupled with Airman, the new global logistics system for the Airbus family. Moreover, a new option for board (card) functional test is now available (integration of VALID Module Test Unit of Seica ) to deepen diagnostics and ease repair.
Considering the existing technical commonality between A380 and A400M, the ATEC Series 6 will also be proposed as test means for this new Airbus Military transport aircraft.
