Inspectors must make critical judgments about the condition of aircraft and aircraft components using their eyes, basic visual aids (magnifiers, mirrors, and flashlights), and complicated NDI/NDT techniques to detect anomalies. Failure to detect observable defects has been implicated in several aviation accidents. This study examines the medical surveillance programs employed by aircraft maintenance facilities in the United States, including specific vision standards and tests used for inspection personnel.Medical surveillance programs for aircraft maintenance personnel performing nondestructive inspection and testing Aircraft steelNondestructive testingAviation mechanics (Persons)Health and hygieneUnited StatesVision ScreeningmethodsVision TestsstandardsAircraftAviationWorkforceMaintenancemethodsUnited StatesTechnical Report.Aircraft steelNondestructive testing.Aviation mechanics (Persons)Health and hygieneVision Screeningmethods.Vision Testsstandards.Aircraft.Aviation.Workforce.Maintenancemethods.Nakagawara Van B1382952Montgomery Ronald W1383389Good Gregory Wallace1383390United States.Federal Aviation Administration.United States.Office of Aerospace Medicine.Civil Aerospace Medical Institute.Ohio State University.NLMNLMGPOBOOK9910695352403321Medical surveillance programs for aircraft maintenance personnel performing nondestructive inspection and testing3428197UNINA
