Abstract
Inspecting an air data probe for physical degradation includes generating a silhouette of the air data probe based on an identification of the air data probe to be inspected. The silhouette is simultaneously displayed with an image of the air data probe produced by a camera, and the displayed image of the air data probe is caused to conform to the silhouette on the display. An image of the air data probe is captured while the displayed image of the air data probe conforms to the silhouette on the display. The captured image is analyzed to identify physical degradation of the air data probe. A maintenance recommendation for the air data probe is generated based on the identified physical degradation.
