1000 Aircraft Survey Pictures

Here is a picasa album with 1000 survey pictures of different aircraft types.


Fokker 50 Interior






Interior Survey:


This survey encompasses interior components such as cabin furniture or bulkhead data. Also the current wiring configuration is available for evaluation during new design stages.


1" Rivet Spacing



Wiring layout and availability of space for upgrades (ports, slots, etc)






Instrumentation Layout:


If an instrument is being replaced, it's potential location must be accurately documented in it's 'as-is' status.  With airplanes that have been on the line for decades, it is possible that the current equipment is not OEM.







Structural Survey:


With accurate data from an on-aircraft measurement session, one can model a 3D model according to existing conditions as well as ideal conditions. Common parts can then be designed for entire fleets taking into account the ideal conditions and the possible deviations.
