A proposed ASTM International standard will establish a new practice for determining safe-life, inspection threshold, and reoccurring inspection intervals for airplanes. ASTM International’s general aviation aircraft committee ( F44 ) is developing the proposed standard. According to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, the safe-life of a structure is the number of events, such as flights,…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Joe Koury, tel +1.610.832.9804; jkoury@astm.org Release #11295 ###
