Abstract: This paper describes the steps and procedures necessary to achieve an acceptable level of aviation safety for military aviation with low time resources and a modern concept of Aircraft Life Extending (ALF) is presented. The concept of ALF is employed to extend the life of the aircraft taking into consideration relevant and critical flight parameters on the aircrafts structure and engine. ALF is incorporated in key flight monitoring operations including: aircraft life prediction models, structural and operational loads models, engine operation models, stress and thermal analysis tools, control schemes, and intelligent acquisition systems. The overall goal of this paper is to define an Intelligent Health and Usage Monitoring System (IHUMS), with which the user can determine the aircrafts life resources.
