The Accelerated Mission Test (AMT) built around data from recorders on each F100 engine in the F-15's has become a focal point of the Component Improvement Program (CIP). AMT engines have successfully detected fatigue and erosion problems ahead of the fleet in time to set limits and substantiate redesigns. Along with the Lead-the-Force Pacer Century program these engines have allowed the progressive advance of maximum operating hours to 1000 hous on the major F100 modules. The AMT engines are also used to substantiate engineering changes. San Antonio ALC repairs, and establish manual limits for the field and depot. Provisioning forecasts are made from the analytical teardown inspections of both the AMT and Pacer Century engines. A projection of engine usage in the F-16 was made and 3000 equivalent hours of testing to this mission has been accomplished before the first F-16 aircraft becomes operational. (Kursetz)
