Training Aids for RK1001 Longeron Repair

COC uses our Forward Fuselage Section to set up all of the Dimensional Data Recording using our U.S. Patented processes.

All of the dimensions and features of the part are captured with the Photogrammetry equipment, then imported into 3D Surface Software.

This data is then used on the aircraft to be repaired.
