Nondestructive Testing Capabilities

Practical methods. Documented findings. Clear maintenance decisions.

Straight Flight provides nondestructive testing capabilities to support aircraft inspection requirements and maintenance work scopes. Our team coordinates method selection, examination and documentation to help identify surface, near-surface and subsurface conditions without compromising the components being inspected.

Bring Us the Inspection Requirement.

Every inspection requirement is different. Straight Flight coordinates the appropriate testing method, examination and documentation based on the aircraft work scope.

Our nondestructive testing capabilities support targeted inspections of aircraft structures and components, helping maintenance teams gather documented findings for clear maintenance decisions.

Our Nondestructive Testing Capabilities

Straight Flight offers practical inspection methods designed to support a range of aircraft inspection requirements.

Eddy current inspection supports localized detection of surface and near-surface discontinuities in conductive aircraft structures and components.

Capabilities include:

  • Surface inspection
  • Near-surface inspection
  • Localized detection

Pulse-echo ultrasonic methods support thickness verification and subsurface assessment where access, geometry and approved data support the examination.

Capabilities include:

  • Thickness verification
  • Subsurface assessment
  • Documented examination findings

Dye penetrant inspection is a sensitive process for finding surface-breaking discontinuities in clean, nonporous components.

Capabilities include:

  • Inspection of nonporous components
  • Surface-breaking indication detection
  • Sensitive examination methods
