Variation in load experience: A re-analysis of Fokker F27 and Foker F28 operational acceleration data

Fatigue meter data obtained during operational flights of Fokker F27 and Fokker F28 aircraft were re-processed and analyzed to study the variation in load experience between different aircraft of the same type. The Data covered about 470000 flights, made by 101 aircraft of 51 different operators. A simple algorithm was developed to quantify the...

Monitoring load experience of individual aircraft

Paper presented at the 17th ICAS Congress, Stockholm, September 1990. The actual service load experience of aircraft may differ appreciably from design assumptions. The necessity to monitor service loads is generally recognized now for military aircraft. This paper starts with a general review of the overall life management procedure commonly...
