The major objective of this book was to identify issues related to the introduction of new materials and the effects that advanced materials will have on the durability and technical risk of future civil aircraft throughout their service life. The committee investigated the new materials and structural concepts that are likely to be incorporated into next generation commercial aircraft and the factors influencing application decisions. Based on these predictions, the committee attempted to identify the design, characterization, monitoring, and maintenance issues that are critical for the introduction of advanced materials and structural concepts into future aircraft.

Incidents where a piece of ground support equipment or personnel damages an aircraft under the control of ground or maintenance operations that requires corrective action by aircraft maintenance personnel. Operations include, but are not limited to servicing, line maintenance, heavy maintenance, and aircraft movement, e.g., marshalling/pushback/tow/reposition/taxi. The definition of the scope of this document is no longer valid. In addition, statistical information is outdated and needs to be revised with the most current information.

Over the past five years, the Air Transport Association (ATA) Ground Safety Committee (GSC) has been gathering and assessing industry-level data related to aircraft ground damage. For the purposes of this document, "aircraft ground damage" is defined as damage suffered by aircraft as a result of their being struck by, pushed or towed into vehicles, structures or other aircraft, or otherwise damaged in the course of conducting maintenance or flight preparation operations. Over time, a pattern has become evident. Four sources of aircraft ground damage consistently show up as the most common: 1) Inadvertent deployment of evacuation slides and tailcones; 2) Jet bridge-related damage (operator error or collisions during aircraft movement); 3) Damage suffered during towing and pushback operations; 4) Collisions between aircraft and baggage handling equipment (beltloaders, tugs and carts) This document is intended to provide users with a set of recommended practices tailored to address the unique hazards and potential pitfalls that lead to these kinds of damage.--P. 4.

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.
