Engine usage and mission analysis is concerned with the correlation of engine events that expend useful engine life with aircraft activity and operational usage mission types. As part of the solution to an engine durability problem, the United States Air Force (USAF) recognized the need for actual engine usage data from the Using Commands and directed that F100 engine demand information be monitored. Subsequently the F-16 Flight Loads Recorder (FLR) system had been modified to include specific engine parameters. General Dynamics developed computer procedures to use the engine data from the F-16 Fleet Management Program FLR, and other USAF data, to procide engine activity analysis and correlation of engine activity with aircraft mission type. When completed and verified the computer procedures were transferred to Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center. The most important capability of engine activity analysis is the accurate definition of duty cycles for improved engine life management.
