The Non-destructive Inspection Lab inspects aircraft structures and sub-assemblies for defects and foreign objects by performing oil analysis, fluorescent dye penetrant, fluorescent magnetic particle, ultrasonic, eddy current and radiographic inspections.

With these processes the NDI Lab can inspect each piece individually for cracks, breaks, or defects that the human eye can't see.

The NDI Lab helps ensure the structural integrity of aircraft and sub-assemblies, as well as ensure the safety of the pilots and personnel on the ground
