Hello.

The numbers are scattered for your question. It can go as low as 15,000 GAG cycles (GAG = Ground-Air-Ground) for a business jet through 25,000 for a regional jet, through 50,000 for a 757 type. So, as you can see it is all over.

It is highly dependent on typical flight profile (designed), a real flight profile and so many smaller things that these are just general numbers.

Of course, there is a lot of variance in these numbers depending on the application. The above number are for transport a/c not military.

As for the references I guess Google is the word.

Cheers
