What's wrong with that? Seems like good practice if you expect these planes to be flying for decades.

- bluedino 5y agoHow do you store data for that long? Imagine the costs.
- HeyLaughingBoy 5y agoDon't imagine: someone will calculate it. Besides, what's important is that the benefit outweighs the cost. If the cost is required to stay in business, then it's probably important enough to incur. Remember: someone's going to be paying that cost and it's clearly worthwhile to them.

- piva00 5y agoImagine the costs of not having the data for planes still being flown. Missing manuals, tech specs, testing procedures, etc. for some strange part that was manufactured 40 years ago, with completely different people, tooling and processes. I believe the cost of missing data is much larger than keeping an archival storage, we have been doing archiving for a long, long time as a species.
