Thanks for answered me.

Yes, and these planes are very good but have many hours of flight. What do you try to say me with: " this really doesn't matter, ' cause you're working on to plane that are been operating for several years (not?) "Is there some advantage that the plane has operated for several years? Thanks again.

Forgive me again, but how does it play the pressurization of cabin in all that? Surely there must be a level limit of flight for which the differential pressure affects less the effort for fatigue. It should be low. Is there a practical rule for this ? Thanks

Thanks again for your response. Yes, you are right, i know but i´m not an specialist. Last week, I entered in touch with specialists. Please, what is AUWt ?

I don´t try to add something onto the airplane. The plane is light.

Thanks for your answer. The plane dropped its limit flight hours. For now, I try to inspect key points where fatigue can be initiated and to limit its operation. I contacted the company. What i know, the L-188 was flying with cracks controlled and an inspections plans. This should be similar...

Also. the fuselage is pressurized from the forward bulkhead of the flight station to the aft bulkhead in the cabin.

Many thanks again. But not, forgive me, it is not an airplanes with external braces. I speak about a P3 a/c, which by his nature is very demanded in his maneuver of flight. So, I try to be attentive to the first indications of appearance of fissures. Because of it I wanted to see what might be...

Thanks, the fuselage is pressurised and the wing is struted, and has four engines.

Thank you for your prompt response. and what du you think would be the best structural inspection to attain this reduce service life goals for the a/c? I put outer wing surface upper planks and center wing surface upper planks. Horizontal stabilizer. other ? thanks

Thank you for your prompt response. But in this case, would you know if is it possible to calculate the limit life of one aircraft with miner´s rule? If I have an airplane that has 25.000 hs flight limit and I see that it is flying harder, is it possible for me to estimate in advance a new...

Hi, I´m not familiar with the Total Life Index (TLI) concept. I know that if TLI reaches 2.0, the aircraft is permanently grounded; to adopt 1.75 as TLI limit is based upon acceptance of risk and probably of failure. I wonder if someone could tell me how to calculate the TLI for one aircraft ? julio
