The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) provides NDT inspection services for Raytheon aircraft. Our NDI laboratory performs comprehensive non-destructive testing for Raytheon aircraft, helping owners, operators, and maintenance organizations verify structural integrity while supporting safe, reliable operation. Raytheon aircraft, including many business and special mission platforms, operate in demanding environments where structural reliability remains essential. Our certified inspectors evaluate critical airframe and component conditions without damaging the material, allowing maintenance teams to identify discontinuities before they compromise aircraft performance or airworthiness.
What NDT Methods Are Used to Inspect Raytheon Aircraft?
Our laboratory provides a complete range of non-destructive inspection services to support Raytheon aircraft throughout their operational life. Certified inspectors determine the appropriate inspection method according to the component material, geometry, service history, and expected damage mechanisms. We assist customers with scheduled maintenance, overhaul programs, repair validation, and component condition assessments for both commercial and government aircraft. Our inspection capabilities include:
- Borescope Inspections
- Eddy Current Testing (ET)
- Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT)
- Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)
- Positive Material Identification (PMI)
- Radiographic Testing (RT)
- Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
- Visual Testing (VT)
Our laboratory combines advanced inspection equipment with highly qualified personnel and proven procedures to detect cracks, corrosion, fatigue damage, inclusions, weld discontinuities, and other material defects before they threaten structural performance. We deliver accurate reports, responsive technical support, and inspection programs that align with manufacturer recommendations and maintenance objectives.
Why Is NDT Important for Raytheon Aircraft Maintenance?
Routine non-destructive testing plays an essential role in preserving the safety, reliability, and service life of Raytheon aircraft. Operators should schedule inspections during routine maintenance events, major inspections, heavy maintenance visits, and following repairs to verify structural condition. Maintenance personnel also rely on NDT after lightning strikes, hard landings, bird strikes, severe turbulence, corrosion exposure, or other abnormal operating events to confirm that critical components remain fit for continued service. Aging aircraft especially benefit from periodic inspections because repeated flight cycles can produce hidden fatigue cracking that remains undetectable through visual examination alone. NDT also supports pre-purchase evaluations, accident investigations, service bulletin compliance, life-extension initiatives, and maintenance planning by providing objective information about structural integrity. Our laboratory delivers dependable inspection results that help customers reduce unplanned downtime, improve maintenance decisions, and protect valuable aircraft assets.
