Applied Technical Services offers nondestructive inspection (NDI) aviation services.  Proper NDI inspections are critical to the design, manufacture, maintenance, and safety of aircraft. Technicians will use NDI methods throughout an aircraft’s lifecycle to assess its health, routinely inspecting parts, structures, and engines.  Aircraft undergo massive fatigue stresses due to the forces acting on them while in flight. Finding and resolving issues is, therefore, fundamental to safe and routine operation.  Common defects discovered while performing NDI methods include cracks, corrosion, fractures, disbonds, delaminations, and tears.  Aircraft components that we regularly inspect include, but are not limited to, the following: engine blades, landing gears, welds, fittingsbolts, fuselages, rivets, wings, and adhesive bonds.
