QinetiQ has been the primary engineering support contractor to the RAAF airworthiness section (ASI-DGTA) since 1996. Over that 16 year time period many airworthiness investigations and assessments of structural integrity have been performed on a wide variety of RAAF aircraft types and Army rotary wing aircraft. A complete capability has been developed to manage structural fatigue in accordance with airworthiness standards, and indeed to transition the management of an aircraft from a design standard to a preferred RAAF management standard in response to capability requirements. Many important lessons have been learnt and have reinforced the capability. This paper describes some of the major programs that QinetiQ has undertaken for the RAAF, and the lessons learnt from them.
