• testing of aircraft on operation with precision test equipment,
• testing of aircraft on maintenance with precision test equipment,
• quality inspection of raw material received to store,
• to perform non-destructive material testing
• inspecting and qualifying tasks arising in the course of aircraft and component operation, maintenance and repair

The NDT Group applies the following non-destructive testing methods:

Eddy current inspection

• High Frequency inspection for detecting surface cracks;
• Low Frequency inspection for detecting cracks under the surface and for determining backside corrosion;
• Low frequency inspection for the detection of internal defects
• Rotary Scanner inspection for detecting in holes cracks/corrosion;
• Conductivity measurement for determining of material or thermal load.

Ultrasonic inspection

• Pulse-echo method for detecting discontinuity (crack, hollow);
• Resonance method for bondtesting of bonded metal and composite materials;
• Ultrasonic thickness measurement.

Radiographic inspection, X-ray inspection

• Inspection of aircraft structures;
• Checking of welded joints;
• Crack detection;
• Water ingression inspection.

Magnetic particle inspection

• Crack detection on magnetic bench;
• Crack detection on installed components on wing.

• Penetrant testing method with red dye;
• Penetration crack inspection with fluorescent penetrants.
