Handbook of Force Management Methods
Abstract
Force management comprises those operations of the Air Force Aircraft Structural Integrity Program that must be conducted to ensure damage tolerance and durability throughout the useful lives of individual airplanes. More specifically, force management is the specification and direction of inspection, preventive maintenance, repairs, modifications and damage assessments required to economically prevent structural failure and preserve the strength and rigidity of airframes. This handbook presents methods for performing the complex system of data collection, processing and analysis which must be performed to provide the necessary information for planning decisions. In particular, the force management tasks are defined, organizational assignments and responsibilities are reviewed and methods of performing the functions of force structural maintenance planning, individual aircraft tracking, and loads/environment spectra surveys are presented.
