What this means in practice

  • Crew or technicians take photos of the outside of the aircraft on a set route, with the same angles and spots each time, using a tablet, phone or fixed hangar cameras.
  • The model is trained on the operator own aircraft types and photos. It marks spots that may need a closer look, such as dents, scratches, missing or loose panels and fasteners, fluid leaks or stains, cracked or damaged lights, and covers, tags or pins left in place.
  • Each mark is saved with the photo, the tail number, the zone on the aircraft and the time, so the team can compare against earlier walkarounds and see when something is new.
  • A licensed technician reviews every mark and makes the call. The model never signs anything off, and every required walkaround, inspection, logbook entry and release step stays exactly as the rules and the maintenance program require.
  • Start with one aircraft type and one station, compare the marks with what technicians find on their own walkarounds for a few weeks, and blur any people or faces caught in the photos.

How Lid Vizion approaches it

We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
