As aerospace systems become increasingly digitized, it’s more important than ever to uphold the proven value of hands-on Quality Assurance (QA) and nondestructive testing (NDT). While digital tools and automation have enhanced efficiency, recent incidents—such as the Boeing 737 Max 9—highlight the continued need for tactile inspection, traceability, and qualified oversight to ensure safety and reliability.

This webinar explores how overreliance on digital systems and checklists has contributed to recent industry failures, including the Boeing 737 Max 9 incident. We’ll revisit proven QA principles like tactile inspection, traceability, dual-verification, and inspector qualification, and examine how culture and oversight must evolve to improve quality and prevent adverse incidents. Join us for a deep dive into rebuilding trust and effectiveness in aerospace QA—before the next failure makes the headlines.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the key risks of over-digitization in aerospace QA, including loss of traceability and digital-only compliance.
• Analyze real-world failures (e.g., Boeing 737 Max 9) to understand the breakdown of QA processes and oversight.
• Describe best practices for restoring tactile inspection, two-man rule enforcement, and inspector training standards.
• Recommend actionable strategies to improve QA culture, enhance accountability, and strengthen independent oversight.
