NDT Webinar: "Ask The Expert" panel from Aerospace Testing International (ATI)

As part of the “Ask the Expert” webinar panel hosted by ‪@aerospacetestinginternatio6439‬ in July 2026, our Responsible Level 3 manager at Testia Canada, Steven Crummack, and other leading aerospace experts provided their insights on a range of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) topics suggested by the audience – from addressing the NDT skills shortage through competence-based training to the aerospace industry's future. 08:24 How can I get certified as a NAS410 if there is no NANTAB in the Americas? 12:13 Is having all the experience hours benefiting and improving NDT technician competence? Could a more competence-based system be employed because this might help the skills shortage? 21:23 If I could deliver you a technician on day one who had all of the technical knowledge, had safety culture embedded, and had all of the hands-on experience that you need for your team, how would you separate the candidates? 25:20 In all different kinds of NDT with the data that comes from tests, what are we missing? What do experts need to make the process and analysis more effective? 28:50 Is testing for durability and reliability considered NDT? 34:04 Where do you see the NDT market moving next? Are certification bodies and standardization organizations ready to adopt new technologies such as new ultrasonic methods and AI? 48:13 What do you consider to be the biggest hurdle in getting a new NDT startup approved in the aviation field? 56:13 What practical approach could you recommend to founders generation to help them through this bureaucratic phase financially? #NonDestructiveTesting #NDT #inspection #Quality #AerospaceTesting #structuralintegrity
