Figure 7.8 illustrates the principles of statistical quality control leading to the most economic inspection technique for the degree of control required.

Increased maintenance and the use of more sophisticated inspection techniques will be necessary to find and correct aircraft problems.

Strictly speaking, the term thermography alone, refers to all thermographic inspection techniques regardless of the physical phenomena used to monitor the thermal changes.

Most of the inspection techniques being used by the airlines are limited to checking relatively small sections of a plane at a time.

As networks evolve, inspection techniques evolve; all attempting to understand the payload.

Focus is on placement of remote automatic shutoff valves, inspection techniques and penalties for non-compliance.

The AOI system needs to be able to add the learned information acquired from the above inspection techniques to its memory.

The corrosion was not detectable by current inspection techniques.

It is hoped that these objectives can be met through developing airframe inspection techniques as a fully integrated system.

It is in this area that AEA's integrated inspection techniques were developed.
