Lease return shouldn’t be a surprise inspection.
Too often, structural findings show up at the worst possible time — during lease return negotiations, when timelines are tight and leverage is limited.
Pre-lease and lease-return NDE isn’t about adding cost.
It’s about controlling risk before someone else defines it for you.
At Cougar NDE, we support operators and lessors with focused structural verification designed to identify:
• Fastener-hole cracking in known fatigue zones
• Corrosion in lap joints and moisture-prone structure
• Condition around previous repairs or modifications
• Thickness loss or hidden deterioration
• Areas flagged in historical records
Using aerospace-appropriate methods like Eddy Current for crack detection, Ultrasonic Testing for thickness and internal integrity, and PT/MT where surface cracks are suspected, we provide objective findings you can act on — before delivery deadlines apply.
What makes Cougar NDE different:
Aerospace-only NDT focus
Aviation-experienced technicians
Independent NRCan NDTCB certification (CAN/CGSB 48.9712)
Clear documentation suitable for contractual review
Transparent scope — no hidden escalation
When the aircraft condition is known early, negotiations stay professional — not reactive.
