Summary
The objectives of the work reported in this paper were to assess the probability of detection of Multi-Site Damage (MSD) in fuselage lap-splices in aging airplanes. The results indicate that a reduction in the mandated period between inspections should be considered. Perforce, the model had to rely on NDI inspection reliability measured on samples devoid of MSD. A recommendation is made for a program to acquire such data for MSD.
