In the aircraft maintenance program, especially in the case of aircraft wheel overhaul, it is important to examine the mechanical damages such as cracks, corrosion, and some other surface irregularities and evaluate the extent of repair work. But within the finite time of maintenance procedure, it is difficult to find the defects rapidly. During aircraft and its components maintenance “NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING” (NDT) is the most effective way of performing inspection and discovering defects. In terms, it can be told that NDT detects cracks and other irregularities in the airframe structure, wheels, engine components, which are clearly not visible to the unclad eye. Structure and assembly of the aircraft wheels are made from various materials, such as aluminum, steel, magnesium, and composite materials. To dismount the aircraft wheel assembly in pieces and then analyses of each of the components would take a long period, so the NDT method and the selection of equipment must be fast and effective.
