The Non-Destructive Testing Manual (NTM), which is used today within the aerospace industry, has a very simple structure and is not able to provide an interactive communication with the user. The handling of Standard Procedures and Special Procedures documented in a paper manual lacks ease of use, because the Standard procedure has to be referred to from the corresponding Special Procedure. So one always needs two or sometimes more procedures for one single inspection task. Modern electronic media, as developed in INDeT, can be used to solve this problem. With a smart structure and documentation it is possible to provide the inspector with the right and precise amount of information required for an inspection task. The 4M system will enable the generation of procedures on demand after computer controlled input of the actual inspection problem, and provides the user with a procedure which contains only such information as is actually required to solve the specific inspection task. To solve the today's problem within the field of handling accidental damages in a smart way, a Problem-Orientated-Expert-System was developed. This tool is closing the gap between the determination of an accidental damage by the customer, and the applicable NDI technique, which has to be supplied by the Non-Destructive Manual (NTM). These tools could help the inspector to make the right decisions, using the experience of the manufacturer. It has been shown, that with the Online-Maintenance-Assistance (OMA) tool it would be possible and beneficial to support airlines and MRO's all over the world via mobile networks.
