Abstract
A system and method for an application of a virtual load monitoring of an aircraft to determine a component retirement time for at least one component of the aircraft is provided. The system and method includes estimating component loads from aircraft state parameters; calculating load statistics from the component loads; calculating a reliability factor; generating a component design load spectrum by applying the reliability factor to the load statistics; and calculating the component retirement time for the at least one component of the aircraft by utilizing the component design load spectrum.
