A method, apparatus, and system for inspecting a fuselage of an aircraft. A rail is positioned within an interior portion of the fuselage of the aircraft such that the rail extends through the interior portion of the fuselage. An inspection device is attached to the rail. The inspection device moves along the rail and the position of the rail enables the inspection device to inspect the interior portion. Video data is sent to a computer system over a wireless communications link between the inspection device and the computer system. The video data is displayed on a display system for the computer system. Inspection operations are performed in the interior portion of the fuselage with the inspection device attached to the rail when a group of commands to perform the inspection operations are received from the computer system over a wireless communications link between the inspection device and the computer system.
