Book Synopsis A Survey of Aircraft Structural-life Management Programs in the U.S. Navy, the Canadian Forces, and the U.S. Air Force by : Yool Kim
Book excerpt: The average age of aircraft in the U.S. Air Force is 22, making aging an increasing concern. The Air Force program responsible for maintaining the structural safety of its aircraft faces challenges, however, such as budgetary pressures, regulations, and communication issues. The authors sought insights on these issues by comparing similar programs in other services. Their observations suggest the value of clear policies, independent assessments, standard metrics, and open and clear communication.
