Summary: | Methods and devices for checking the geometry of an angle-of-attack sensor belonging to an aircraft are provided. The device includes one or more stages, a stage comprising a slot the geometric dimensions of which are specifically configured to accept a portion of the said angle-of-attack sensor. The device allows a visual inspection but can also be instrumented (photoelectric cell, laser, camera) in order to verify the geometry of the sensor in detail. Developments notably describe the use of signal indicators, motorized stages, one or more image sensors, specific materials, communications with computers, or placement by drone and/or robotic arm. Software aspects are described. |
