An aircraft flies \( 6 \) sectors a day for \( 300 \) days a year. Its annual pressurisation cycle count is

  • A.600
  • B.2190
  • C.1800
  • D.300

Answer: C

Correct answer: 1800

\[ 6 \times 300 = 1800\ \mathrm{cycles\ per\ year}. \] Each sector is one pressurisation cycle, and it is the cycles rather than the hours that consume the fuselage’s fatigue life - which is why the certified life of a transport structure is quoted in cycles as well as hours.
