Industry Partners: FAA Certification Engineers and Aviation Safety Inspectors
Objectives:
-
To relate the role of NDE to the overall lifecycle of aviation components including implications for damage tolerance and safe life design strategies
- To provide NDE
resources, both written and electronic, to support the decision process
for FAA certification engineers and aviation safety inspectors regarding
the effective utilization of NDE technology
Approach:
- Establish training
design panel in cooperation with TCRG
- Update existing
materials for NDI course for FAA Aviation Safety Inspectors
- Utilize training design panel for review of modules
- Transition materials
(written, electronic media) to FAA field offices and industry
- Survey effectiveness
of delivery mechanism for use in future training development efforts
FAA ceritification engineers and ASIs require a broad range of knowledge of the technologies NDE plays in the aviation lifecycle to assure product quality and safe operation.
Products:
- Revised materials
for existing FAA ASI course
- NDI web-based resources
for ASIs and
certification engineers
- Guidance materials
for NDI tailored for
aviation use
