ADS-79D-HDBK Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com FIGURE K-12. Regime recognition-based structural usage monitoring credit detailed verification process K.5.3.2 Structural Usage Monitoring Credit Validation Process. Upon successfully verifying the credit methodology, the production unit is generated. The production unit is essential for validating the methodology. This section explains the process by which the Usage- based Credit methodology should be validated. See Figure K-13 for the flow chart. The entry criterion for the Usage-based Credit Validation Process is that the verification process must have been completed.

The starting assumption here is that upon successful completion of verification, the system elements will now be production software. Validation can only be performed on production software. Guidance on the validation requirements related to the fatigue life management (FLM) elements of the identified credit can be found in Appendix A. Guidance on the requirements related to the regime recognition elements of the identified credit can be found in Appendix B. 213
