close visual inspection

Standard

Definition

close proximity, intense visual examination of the internal and external surfaces of a structure, including structural details or locations, for indications of impact damage, flaws, and other surface defects

Notes

NOTE The inspection capability is evaluated by the surface deflection measurement (impact depth). The close visual inspection is considered to detect reliably a deflection larger than the visual damage threshold (VDT).
