Aerospace NDT is a complex industry that requires extensive training in aircraft structure, component engineering, and manufacturing processes. There are many variations in types of airframe and component design; therefore, NDT technicians are required to be highly trained in quality assurance and aircraft maintenance as well as have an acute understanding that their jobs have an impact on potential of loss of life.

This presentation provides a brief overview of NDT inspections applicable to 1) Using NDT and chemical processes to find discontinues specific to aerospace manufacturing, 2) unique NDT techniques specific to repair and overhaul of aircraft in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) industry, and 3) advanced NDT applicable to the space vehicle industry.The presentation focuses on the spectrum of aerospace equipment, techniques, and work Instructions for the aircraft industry. NDT personnel of all Levels and quality assurance personnel are encouraged to attend.
