The present invention relates to the inspection of aircraft. In order to provide a simplified inspection of an aircraft for the pilot, an aircraft inspection system (10) is provided which comprises at least one movable inspection unit (12), a position detection arrangement (14), and at least one data transfer interface (16). The at least one moveable inspection unit is moveable relative to an aircraft to be inspected. The at least one movable inspection unit comprises at least one sensor (22) for detecting a characteristic value, for verifying a characteristic and/or for determining a defect of an aircraft. The movable inspection unit is configured to generate monitoring data. When a defect or a characteristic value is detected, the position detection arrangement detects position data of the movable inspection unit in relation to the aircraft to be inspected, and assigns the position data to the monitoring data. The data transfer interface provides the position data with the assigned monitoring data as inspection data (28).
