This work describes the present methodology used on Portuguese Air Force (PoAF) aircrafts for fatigue life assessment to maintain its structural integrity. This methodology uses experimental flight data collected by airborne instrumentation systems. The recorded data are analysed for the prediction of the crack growth of defects at critical components of the aircraft and this information is then used for planning non-destructive inspections, maintenance, logistical support and operational usage of the various fleets. This methodology is exemplified by one application on DASSAULT/DORNIER ALPHA-JET aircraft.
