AAR Employing Drones for Aircraft Inspections
AAR is assessing the drone technology under a 12-month agreement with Donecle, a French specialist in automated aircraft inspections.

AAR’s MRO facility in Miami has begun using a French company’s drones to conduct aircraft inspections as part of its maintenance processes, the Chicago-based company announced yesterday. Under a 12-month technology agreement with Donecle, which specializes in automated aircraft inspection by drone, AAR expects to expand the inspections to its other MRO facilities following further assessment and results. AAR will continue to conduct manual inspections, as well as comply with FAA requirements.
