Purpose:
This Structures Bulletin describes the Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (ASIP)
requirements for commercial derivative aircraft (CDA) covered under Air Force Policy
Directive (AFPD) 62-6 (Ref. 1). Several recent policy changes have necessitated a
need to revise the original Structures Bulletin which was released on 9 July 2004.
Background:
Airworthiness requirements for commercial derivative aircraft were previously covered
by AFPD 62-4 and 62-5, both of which were superseded by AFPD 62-6 on 11 June
2010. AFPD 62-6 is implemented via Air Force Instruction (AFI) 62-601 (Ref. 2). The
USAF ASIP is directed by AFPD 63-1 / 20-1 and is implemented via AFI 63-101 and
AFI 63-1001 (References 3, 4, and 5). AFPD 63-1 / 20-1 superseded the “stand alone”
ASIP policy directive AFPD 63-10 on 3 April 2009 as part of an effort to consolidate Air
Force policy. AFI 63-101 directs that “an aircraft-specific ASIP is required for each
Mission Design Series (MDS) of aircraft (manned or unmanned) the AF acquires, uses
