Panel Highlights

Skill Development and Advancement of NDT Inspectors: All-Level Discussion

NDT inspectors progress through three designated levels based on years of experience and training. As NDT inspection is a niche skill, there have been difficulties in succession planning and placement for eminent vacancies. The panel discussion will include inspectors at various levels to share their matriculation experiences, inspiration, coaching and challenges and related factors associated with their journey.

Updates From Aircraft Engine Manufacturers: What’s Coming

A panel of aircraft propulsion and engine manufacturers discuss current developments associated with their product lines and related inspection techniques. This may include emerging design considerations for new or derivative products affecting traditional NDT methods and/or innovations associated with tooling and technique. Panelists will highlight where these new entries are expected to offer favorable changes in efficiency or precision for inspection.
