Flying has long been considered a safe means of travel, although 100 per cent safety can never be guaranteed. The Defence Research Agency's (DRA's) Spectrometric Oils Analysis Programme, SOAP, helps to ensure aircraft stay fault-free for as long as possible by providing an accurate, rapid spectrometric service, analysing wear metals in engine and gear-box lubricants. The DRA enables the RAF to make significant improvements in safety, through optimizing machine uptime and decreasing routine maintenance. Annual savings of several million pounds in service and failure costs are also achieved.
