Aircraft exhaust system is a very crucial
component to make sure that the aircraft flies
safely and lands safe and sound. There are some
tips to follow while inspecting the exhaust
system of an aircraft. Aviation welders must

thorough manner, so that there is no chance that
any vulnerable or weak spot is neglected.

Aviation welders must remove all the shrouds and
shields that cover the muffler. It will make sure
that the welders can see the muffler to the
farthest possible spot to make sure there is no
hidden spot that can be seen. It will enable the
welders to reach deep into the muffler. It will
minimize the chances of any negligence that can
be avoided by removing shrouds and shields of the
muffler.

During the inspection of an aircrafts exhaust
system, the aviation welders keep their eyes open
to detect any crack or leakage evidence. If there

leak, it must be properly dealt with to avoid any
consequences.
