Analysis is presented of more than 1300-hr flight load records obtained from light aircraft engaged in low altitude terrain-following operations; it is shown that continuous operation in average low altitude environment reduces estimated fatigue life by factor of 15 to 1 when compared with normal operating environment, and in limiting condition imposed by pilot tolerance, this factor is increased to 90 to 1.
