FA-18 SLAP
Abstract
The F/A-18E/F Service Life Assessment Program (SLAP) is assessing the structural condition of the F/A-18E/F fleet in order to determine what modifications are necessary to extend the aircraft designed life limits to allow it to achieve Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) inventory requirements. The goal of the SLAP program is to identify critical structures and components that can achieve the extended service life limit goals. An increase in total landings and flight hours would allow the F/A-18E/F to meet CNO inventory requirements, to include planning for the announced one year Joint Strike Fighter slide. This effort is required to be conducted for these airframes to ascertain what actions and modifications must be taken to safely operate each system beyond its designed life until the targeted end of service life.
