NDT Software for Aerospace — Digital Twin, ERP & Reporting

Built for aerospace MRO, OEM, and defense inspection programs where NAS 410 / EN 4179 personnel traceability, ECT fatigue-crack detection, composite UT C-scan imaging, and EASA Part 145 / FAA AC 43.13 documentation compliance are non-negotiable.

Aerospace inspection operates under safety-critical tolerances invisible to oil & gas or manufacturing inspection programs. A 0.5mm fatigue crack in a turbine disk, an undetected 3mm disbond in a composite leading edge, or a loose-production counterfeit fastener can terminate a flight with loss of life. NAS 410 and EN 4179 enforce stricter personnel qualification than general ASNT SNT-TC-1A, including longer initial training hours, documented vision acuity (including colour perception for PT/MT), and annual recertification cycles.

Atlantis NDT software addresses these constraints in the core data model — not as an afterthought — so EASA Part 145 audits, FAA airworthiness reviews, and DGCA surveillance visits clear without documentation gaps.

Modern aircraft use carbon-fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass-fibre composites extensively in primary structure (Boeing 787 ~50% by weight, Airbus A350 ~52%). Composite damage mechanisms differ fundamentally from metallic damage:

Phased-array UT or conventional pulse-echo at 2-5 MHz maps back-wall attenuation across the part surface. Disbonds, delaminations, and porosity create attenuation signatures that render as colour-coded heatmaps. Atlantis Reporting Software auto-generates ASTM E2580-format C-scan reports.

Flash thermography per ASTM E2582 heats the composite surface momentarily; sub-surface defects create cooling anomalies detected by IR camera. Atlantis Digital Twin overlays IRT data onto the 3D airframe model, preserving the spatial context required for repair scheme development.

Atlantis NDT ERP enforces NAS 410 / EN 4179 qualification rules automatically — no manual spreadsheet cross-check. Each NDT technician profile tracks:

Atlantis NDT Reporting Software embeds AS 5553 counterfeit-parts-avoidance documentation in every inspection report for parts under Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) rating. Material Test Reports (MTR), heat-lot traceability, and supplier accreditation status (per AS6174A for standard electronic parts) attach directly to the part S/N record on the Digital Twin airframe view — providing end-to-end provenance across manufacture, inspection, service life, and disposal.

4-6 week implementation with ASNT Level III + Level III (NAS 410) technical advisor. Boeing/Airbus SRM template library. EASA Part 145 audit-ready documentation.
