Abstract
This paper introduces the connection between old aircraft and flight safety as well as the present state and potential futures for managing old aircraft. Age can be managed in two ways: retiring the aircraft and buying a newer one, or properly sustaining aging aircraft through additional and targeted maintenance. To do this, manufacturers, maintainers, operators, and owners must work together with regulators. A good way to guarantee proper maintenance is through continuing airworthiness programs and supplemental inspection programs. While the effects of aging on an aircraft can be detrimental to safety, they can be reduced with proper maintenance. If the operators follow the maintenance programs, current and future maintenance programs will operate as a preventative strategy to lessen the safety risk associated with aging aircraft.
