Crab, SA, and Wiz make an excellent point: the fatigue spectrum is composed not simply of the specific maneuvers, but how many times they are accomplished, and at what weight. Best example I can think of on the weight side of things is what happened to the original S-64 Skycrane when it went into the logging business, compared to the original load spectrum within the military usage. ( and yes, that flight operation also changed the maneuver spectrum spread in that, for example, they would spend a lot more time coming down a mountain side on the edge of translational lift with high n/rev vibes ).
