Engine Inspection & Borescopes
An aviation video borescope is an articulating camera probe that technicians insert through engine borescope ports to inspect compressor and turbine blades, combustors and other hidden areas without disassembling the engine. Airlines, engine MROs and OEM networks use borescopes for scheduled and on-condition inspections, measuring damage against the engine manual limits. Novatelia sources selected borescope systems by RFQ for operators in Oman and on qualified GCC projects.
Applications
- Compressor and turbine blade inspection [1].
- High-pressure turbine blade views aligned to Aircraft Maintenance Manual tasks using guided templates [2].
- Foreign-object damage and post-event inspections.
Equipment types
- Portable HD video borescopes with interchangeable probes (e.g. Waygate Mentor Visual iQ+) [1].
- Turning tools that rotate the engine spool for blade-by-blade inspection [1].
Technologies
- 3D measurement (stereo or phase measurement) for length, depth and area [1].
- Automated blade counting and AI-assisted defect recognition [3].
- Menu-directed inspection and cloud data management [3].
How to select equipment
- Probe diameter and length versus the engine's borescope port and inspection path.
- Measurement method required by the engine manual.
- Data and reporting workflow integration.
Calibration and traceability
- Measurement tips and 3D systems should be verified per the OEM's instructions before measurements are used for dispositions.
Customer types
- Airlines
- Engine MRO shops
- Business aviation
- Military aviation maintenance
Relevant standards and guidance
- Engine manufacturer manuals define inspection tasks and limits; FAA AC 43.13-1B Chapter 5 covers general inspection practice [4].

Frequently asked technical questions
What is a borescope inspection?
A remote visual inspection of internal engine parts through access ports using a flexible articulating video probe [1].
Can borescopes measure damage?
Yes, systems with 3D measurement measure length, depth, area and profile to compare against manual limits [1].
What does AI add to borescope inspection?
Assisted defect recognition flags possible defects; GE Aerospace and Waygate reported improved detection on HPC inspections [2].
Do I need a turning tool?
For blade-by-blade inspections a turning tool rotates the spool; some borescopes integrate with it [1].
Can Novatelia supply Waygate borescopes in Oman?
Novatelia supplies and sources selected solutions from this manufacturer subject to availability, OEM channel requirements and project qualification.
