• Maintain historical records for aircraft structural modifications, significant repairs, service life extensions, and airworthiness decisions.
• Track individual aircraft life limits, including flight hours, landing cycles, pressurization cycles, and service life metrics.
• Document and maintain service life extension studies and ensure fleet records accurately reflect authorized modifications and structural improvements.
• Develop and manage programs that monitor changes in aircraft mission profiles and operational usage.
• Analyze flight spectrum data and compare operational usage against OEM design limits to support structural integrity and lifecycle management.
