generally be specified in the aircraft or component _____________________. - ANSWER
Maintenance/Overhaul Manual
Correct choice of NDI method would be exercised based upon knowledge of principles,
limitations, advantages and disadvantages of the available methods of NDI and
knowledge of their comparative effectiveness and cost. - ANSWER Suitable Method
,"(1) The criticality of the component;
(2) The material, size, shape and weight of the part;
(3) The type of defect sought;
(4) Maximum acceptable defect limits in size and distribution;
(5) Possible locations and orientations of defects;
(6) Part accessibility or portability; and
(7) The number of parts to be inspected." - ANSWER Other Factors
The assorted materials used in NDI incorporate chemicals, which, if handled
incorrectly, can be hazardous to the health and safety of operators and to the safety of
the environment, aircraft and engines. Information on safe handling of materials is
provided in __________. - ANSWER Material Safety Data Sheet
The degree of inspection sensitivity required is another important factor in the selection
of the NDI method. The use of more sensitive NDI methods is necessitated by the fact
that critical parts cannot withstand small defects which may lead to catastrophic failure.
Less critical parts and general hardware generally require less sensitive NDI methods. -
ANSWER Degree of Inspection
