The actual service load experience of aircraft may differ appreciably from design assumptions. The necessity to monitor service loads is generally recognized now for military aircraft. The paper starts with a general review of the overall life management procedure commonly used today. Specific elements in this procedure are discussed in some detail. Specific attention is paid to the amount of scatter in severity between different flights and the required sample sizes of flight load measurements for obtaining reliable average load spectrum data. Possible causes for variation in load experience between different aircraft flying the same duty are analyzed. It is concluded that Individual Aircraft Tracking (IAT), if necessary at all, can usually be adequately accomplished by administrative means, indicated as Usage Monitoring.
