Applied Technical Services performs Cessna NDT aircraft inspections to keep clients airworthy. Cessna products are some of the finest private aircraft in the skies, and we serve their owners and operators by conducting standard-compliant inspections to verify that these machines remain safe for flight. ATS offers a variety of nondestructive testing (NDT) methods and completes them according to the specifications relevant to each aircraft. Our experience inspecting Cessna aircraft prepares us to detect nearly imperceptible flaws where they exist.
Our NDT Aircraft Inspection Capabilities
ATS’ NDT expertise allows us to detect minute flaws in aircraft components. Although we perform numerous disciplines of NDT for clients in many industries, those relevant to aircraft inspection remain the tried and true:
- Visual Inspection (VT)
- Foundational, used to preliminarily assess conditions and determine appropriate next steps
- Most cost-effective option
- Dye Penetrant (PT)
- Harmless dye gathers in surface flaws to draw inspectors’ attention
- Relatively quick process
- Options to use either a visually brilliant color or one fluorescent under blacklight as appropriate
- Cost-effective
- Eddy Current (ET)
- Uses magnetic properties of metals exposed to a field produced by a current-bearing coil
- Highly sensitive method that can detect surface defects even beneath coating layers
Our technicians maintain certifications in accordance with NAS-410 to perform each of the above methods. Our Marietta lab holds the distinction of being certified to perform select NDT methods (including VT, PT, and ET) by both the FAA (Repair Station #HC4D227M) and the A2LA (ISO 17025 #1888.04). Our pedigree in aviation inspection makes us the perfect choice to answer Cessna owners’ inspection needs.
