Aircraft & Aerospace Component Inspections

Service Scope & Examination Focus

Category Objectives

• Identify physical damage, defects and deterioration within the agreed scope.
• Check specified components against relevant technical acceptance criteria.
• Examine installation, assembly and repair workmanship.
• Support maintenance, repair and replacement priorities.
• Provide condition evidence for purchasing and handover decisions.
• Verify completed repairs through agreed specialist reinspection.

Inspection Methodology

The inspection plan reflects the asset, access conditions and specialist discipline. Defined criteria and examination coverage govern the evidence collected and conclusions reported.

• Define asset boundaries. Identify equipment, components, locations and the inspection purpose.
• Confirm technical criteria. Establish relevant specifications, drawings and manufacturer requirements.
• Plan specialist resources. Select competent inspectors, methods, instruments and access arrangements.
• Identify presented assets. Record identifiers, component locations and the configuration examined.
• Inspect physical condition. Examine structures, mechanisms and installations for specified defects.
• Evaluate evidence. Compare observations, measurements and supporting results with defined criteria.
• Report and communicate. Issue itemised findings and limitations; communicate significant defects promptly.
• Reinspect repairs. Where commissioned, examine corrected items and document their condition.

Key Deliverables & Outcomes

• A traceable condition report for the assets and components examined.
• Clear identification of observed defects and specified nonconformities.
• Technical evidence supporting maintenance, repair and replacement decisions.
• Documented condition information for purchasing, handover and asset-use consideration.
• Recorded findings from any commissioned repair reinspection.
