40 hours are required for the EC data evaluation. Completion of ETS-300 or equivalent and at least one year experience as a Level IIA Inspector, or instructor's permission. This comprehensive course will fully familiarize students with the theory and practical applications of the eddy current techniques used in aircraft inspection. Instruction is provided in all types of surface EC inspection. Students can train on a variety of test equipment and use different probe designs specific to their application.
Primary emphasis is on equipment function and operation.
This is an advanced course in the eddy current testing of aircraft structures. Emphasis is on advanced single and multi-frequency eddy current techniques. Students will learn the fundamentals of establishing test parameters and organizing and reporting test results. Students learn techniques for initial set-up using reference standards and modifications required to apply the technique in the field. Various equipment and sensing elements are discussed.
