A crack takes \( 12\,000 \) flights to grow from detectable to critical. With two inspections required in that period, the interval is

  • A.3000 flights
  • B.6000 flights
  • C.12,000 flights
  • D.24,000 flights

Answer: B

Correct answer: 6000 flights

If two inspections must fall within the interval during which a crack grows from detectable to critical, the interval can be no more than half that period: \[ \frac{12{,}000}{2} = 6{,}000\ \mathrm{flights}. \] The requirement for two rather than one is deliberate redundancy - a single missed detection must not lose the aircraft.
