The primary objective of this study was to support the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Operational Loads Monitoring Research Program by developing new and improved methods and criteria for processing and presenting commercial transport airplane ground loads usage data. The scope of activities performed involved (1) defining the service-related factors that affect the operational life of commercial aircraft; (2) designing an efficient software system to reduce, store, and process large quantities of optical quick access recorder data; and (3) reducing, analyzing, and providing processed data in statistical formats that will enable the FAA to reassess existing certification criteria. Equally important, these new data will also enable the FAA, the aircraft manufacturers, and the airlines to better understand and control those factors that influence the structural integrity of commercial transport aircraft. The data presented in this report will provide the user with information comparing the side load factors encountered during ground maneuvers for airplane models B-747-400, B-767-200, B-737-400, CRJ100, and A320 in actual operational usage. The University of Dayton Research Institute database used for this report consisted of 95,862 flight hours for the B-747-400; 44,990 flight hours for the B-767-200; 89,269 flight hours for the B-737-400; 463 flight hours for the CRJ100; and 30,817 flight hours for the A320.
