The variability of fatigue damage from flight to flight is examined for a fleet of aircraft, both within aircraft and between aircraft. A method is described of modifying the standard analysis of variance technique to take account of correlation between consecutive flights and an example is given. It is then shown how to use the estimates of variance so obtained in the derivation of factors for damage prediction, both on a short term basis for a few unmetered flights and also for complete life estimation.
