 Ultrasonic inspection using the latest technology to detect cracks in the main landing gear of an F-4 Phantom  X-ray inspection of weldings on space components | Why we do nondestructive inspection?
Nondestructive inspection (NDI) gives a good indication of the inner condition of materials, parts or components. In view of increased product liability, NDI is now an essential element in the Quality Assurance concepts for aircraft manufacturing, maintenance, overhaul and repair. This applies both to structures made from conventional materials and to new materials and integrated components. Dasa Manching has at its disposal not only all the necessary equipment but also the extensively qualified and highly experienced personnel to enable it to conduct a wide range of nondestructive inspections.

Our NDI personnel Our NDI personnel is qualified and approved in accordance with prEN 4179 "Qualification and Certification of Nondestructive Testing Personnel in Aerospace Industries". This is equivalent to the requirements set out in MIL-STD 410E (Nondestructive Personnel Qualification and Certification). Approval of our inspectors working at Level 2, and partially also at Level 3, forms the basis for independent, highly-efficient and reliable inspection to be carried out not only in our company but also at the customers' facilities. This high level of qualification is needed to obtain the special NDI licenses required for work on NASA's manned spacecraft structures, on Learjet aircraft and also on many military and civil aircraft. Our main inspection fields
|  Eddy current inspection on civil aircraft  Eddy current inspection of holes, conducted on hundrets of holes |
