Hi guys,

I've been working for Cobham since 1999 and flying King Airs on flight inspection as a Captain for the last 6 years.

The routine inspections are generally every 180 days, I can't remember ever having done a post accident inspection myself but the company have been involved in them at Amsterdam, Heathrow, Birmingham and Cork (i think).

Any accident on a approach will probably result in a post-accident check to ensure that the ILS wasn't to blame. It's rare that we find major issues with ILS's but they do quite often require "tweaking" to keep them in the required, very tight, tolerances.

Currently we look after systems for the MoD, UK civilian customers, a lot of stuff in Spain, Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, lots of places in the Middle East and the RAF's overseas stuff in Cyprus, the Falklands and at Camp Bastion.

Need to know anything else just ask
