Develop Improved Assessments of Landing Weights

TOPIC SPONSOR: Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Operational Energy (SAF/IEN)

Explore the effects on readiness and fiscal impact of excessive landing weight.  Mobility aircraft often land with excessive weight caused by carrying more fuel than required for the mission.  This topic seeks to understand the effects from a maintenance readiness perspective on short and long-term aircraft maintenance and sustainment, and how that relates to overall aircraft readiness and cost.
