The rules and the standard procedures established for nondestructive aircraft inspections are summarized. International organizations and aircraft industries produced a users guide to perform inspections. Nondestructive tests are used as a tool to ensure aircraft structure reliability and prevent in-service failures. The critical aircraft structures to be submitted to nondestructive test are defined on the basis of stress analysis, in-service and evaluation tests. The detection of crack initiation and the crack tolerated length are discussed. The choice of nondestructive test method, and the selection and qualification of the personnel to perform the tests are studied. The aircraft quality control also depends on reports concerning malfunctions or problems detected over noncritical structures. It is recommended that such reports be included in the damage assessment and aircraft safety control procedures.
