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. 517 $aMedical surveillance programs for aircraft maintenance personnel performing nondestructive inspection and testing 606 $aAircraft steel$xNondestructive testing 606 $aAviation mechanics (Persons)$xHealth and hygiene$zUnited States 606 $aVision Screening$xmethods 606 $aVision Tests$xstandards 606 $aAircraft 606 $aAviation 606 $aWorkforce 606 $aMaintenance$xmethods 607 $aUnited States 608 $aTechnical Report. 615 0$aAircraft steel$xNondestructive testing. 615 0$aAviation mechanics (Persons)$xHealth and hygiene 615 12$aVision Screening$xmethods. 615 12$aVision Tests$xstandards. 615 22$aAircraft. 615 22$aAviation. 615 2$aWorkforce. 615 22$aMaintenance$xmethods. 700 $aNakagawara$b Van B$01382952 701 $aMontgomery$b Ronald W$01383389 701 $aGood$b Gregory Wallace$01383390 712 02$aUnited States.$bFederal Aviation Administration. 712 02$aUnited States.$bOffice of Aerospace Medicine. 712 02$aCivil Aerospace Medical Institute. 712 02$aOhio State University. 801 0$bNLM 801 1$bNLM 801 2$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910695352403321 996 $aMedical surveillance programs for aircraft maintenance personnel performing nondestructive inspection and testing$93428197 997 $aUNINA
