MIL-STD-1530C(USAF)
structural components, as required. The IAT Program shall be ready to acquire data at the beginning of initial flight operations. If instrumentation and/or sensors are part of the IAT Program, the instrumentation shall be incorporated into the full-scale static test described in 5.3.1, into the full-scale durability test described in 5.3.4, and into the flight and ground loads survey aircraft described in 5.3.3.1. Data systems should comply with the requirements of AFPD 63-14 and AFI 63-1401.
5.4.5.1 Tracking analysis methods.
Analysis methods shall be developed which adjust the inspection and modification times based on the actual measured usage of the individual aircraft. These methods shall have the ability to predict damage growth in all critical locations and in the appropriate environment as a function of the total measured usage, and to recognize changes in operational mission usage. The methods shall also provide the ability to determine the equivalent flight hours. The analysis methods and accompanying computer programs shall be provided to the USAF.
5.4.6 Rotorcraft Dynamic Component Tracking (RDCT) Program development.
A program to perform rotorcraft dynamic component tracking (RDCT) shall be developed to provide data to support condition-based maintenance. One hundred percent of the rotorcraft shall be instrumented with systems that measure component responses to operations and that anticipate impending failures. The systems shall provide sufficient warning of impending failure to allow safe flight and landing. The
RDCT Program shall be ready to acquire data at the beginning of initial flight operations.
5.5 Force management execution (Task V).
Task V describes the execution of the force management strategy described in Task IV. Task V will be primarily the responsibility of the USAF. Force management shall be conducted by executing the FSMP. The maintenance schedule directed by the FSMP shall be adjusted for each aircraft by data received from the IAT Program described in 5.5.1 or by the RDCT system described in 5.5.2. The FSMP shall be updated periodically to ensure it accurately and efficiently protects against structural failures. Updates to the FSMP shall be based on evaluations of changes in operational usage described in 5.5.3 as well as assessments of new damage findings documented within the structural maintenance database described in
5.5.5.1. Periodic action shall be taken to ensure the reliability of the on-board usage data-gathering equipment is sufficient to achieve the required data capture rates. Any changes to the force management strategy shall be documented in the ASIP Master Plan described in 5.1.1.
5.5.1 Individual Aircraft Tracking (IAT) Program.
The IAT Program shall be used to adjust the inspection, modification, overhaul, and replacement times based on the actual, measured usage of the individual aircraft. The IAT Program shall be used to determine damage growth in the appropriate environment as a function of the total measured usage and to quantify changes in operational mission usage. The IAT Program shall also determine the equivalent flight hours (or other appropriate measures of damage such as landings, pressure cycles, etc.) and adjust the required maintenance schedule for all critical locations on each individual aircraft. The IAT Program shall forecast when aircraft structural component life limits will be reached. Data systems should comply with the requirements of AFPD 63-14 and AFI 63-1401.
5.5.2 Rotorcraft Dynamic Component Tracking (RDCT) Program.
The RDCT Program shall measure rotorcraft dynamic component responses to operations and provide data to support condition-based maintenance and to anticipate impending failures. The systems shall provide sufficient warning of impending failure to allow safe flight and landing.
