01
Call with the aircraft where it sits
Ramp, hangar, or shop. Give tail or type, airport, and what the maintenance instruction is asking for.
AOG / field
The aircraft is down. Call first.
The clock is the job: get the inspection done so the aircraft can leave. AOGNDT routes that call to Level 3 NDT — FAA Repair Station N5DR176O. Field-ready Bay Area dispatch with published prompt worldwide field service since 1996.
How a call usually goes
02
We match method and kit
Eddy current, ultrasonic, magnetic particle, penetrant, visual, or borescope — portable gear and reference standards go with the inspector.
03
Inspect, document, get it moving
Results support AD compliance and return-to-service. The point of the call is time off the ground — a clear report, then the aircraft can leave.
Have this ready
- Aircraft type and tail number
- Airport, hangar, or shop location
- AMM / AD / SB reference if you have it
- Method requested, or a description of the finding
- Access, power, and who will meet the inspector
Time off the ground
We come to the aircraft so you are not waiting on a ferry. Hayward shop, minutes from SFO, SJC, and OAK. Their published language is prompt worldwide field service — not a guaranteed hour count, and not a 24/7 desk until hours are confirmed.
