It is envisaged that a working group is convened to look at the need for training and examinations in MFL inspection in line with current PCN-approved packages.

With flying colours and zero NCRs (non-conformity reports), TITAL, a company specialising in investment casting, has passed the audit for digital radiography in accordance with the Nadcap AC7114/6 checklist, making it the first European supplier to the aviation and aerospace industry qualified to utilise digital radiography as the permitted method for quality inspection, it is claimed. In the course of auditing, TITAL received direct support from the new version of Y.IMAGE3500, software for analysing radiographic images, which has been incorporated as an upgrade into the Yxlon Y.MU2000-D digital X-ray inspection system. This software was optimised by engineers at Yxlon working together with the inspectors in charge at TITAL to provide maximum operator-friendliness.
