AMS


Explanation:
Look, in the text below, the meaning of AMS, JAA, etc.:

(from http://www.inac.pt/htm/DL250-2003.asp)

D. R. Nº 236 SÉRIE I-A , Págs.: 6695 a 6729 de Sábado, 11 de Outubro de 2003

Artigo 2.º

Abreviaturas

Para efeitos do presente diploma, entende-se por:

a) «AMC», centro de medicina aeronáutica;
b) «AME», examinador médico autorizado;
c) «AMS», direcção de medicina aeronáutica;
d) «INAC», Instituto Nacional de Aviação Civil;
e) «JAA», Joint Aviation Authorities;

Some acronyms are in English (JAA, for instance). I believe AMS is also in English, something like Aviation Medical Supervision. Not sure about the wording, but sure for the acronym.
