Short-haul aircraft reach fatigue-related life limits sooner than long-haul aircraft because

  • A.Fuselage fatigue is driven by cycles rather than by hours
  • B.Their cabins are pressurised to a higher differential
  • C.Their structures are lighter
  • D.They fly at lower altitude

Answer: A

A regional aircraft may fly six or eight sectors a day against a long-haul aircraft's one, so it accumulates pressurisation cycles far faster for the same hours. Life limits for such airframes are therefore quoted in cycles.
