Variation in Load Factor Experience of Fokker F27 and F28 Operational Acceleration Exceedance Data.

Abstract

Fatigue meter data obtained during operational flights of Fokker F27 and F28 aircraft were reprocessed and analyzed to study the variation in load experience between different aircraft of the same type. The data covered about 470,000 flights which were made by 101 aircraft belonging to 51 different operators. A simple algorithm was developed to quantify the load factor experience in terms of fatigue damage per flight. The data were subjected to a statistical analysis. Considerable variations in load experience were found. The results give an indication of the benefits that can be gained from individual aircraft load monitoring.
