Airframe Structural Integrity and Inspection Planning

Crack monitoring, corrosion control and SB/AD tracking for fuselage, wing and control surfaces to plan cost-effective replacements.

Maintaining structural integrity depends on life limits, cycle/hour-based inspections and environmental controls.

NDT methods (UT, ET, PT, MT) and borescope checks detect early cracks/corrosion in critical zones such as gear bays and pressure joints.

Follow OEM SBs/ADs to schedule modifications and replacements. Label stock clearly by revision and applicability.

Use C-Check/D-Check windows for major component changes, corrosion removal and repainting to minimize downtime.

Result: disciplined inspections and the right spares plan extend life and keep safety margins high.
