Historical operational usage data give a ground for fatigue damage estimation. Quality of sensors and recorders two or more decades ago were lower then modern one. Lack of resolution in nz-level measurement and recording leads to some errors in fatigue damage calculations. In this paper author propose a method to improve the accuracy of fatigue damage calculations for archived data. The method takes advantage of typical distribution of accumulated cycles for aircrafts. Small correction in representative nz value taken in calculations can reduce the error in fatigue damage assessment.
