It’s hard to overstate the importance of a protective cover being freeze-proof. When a cover freezes, it gains weight and takes on the shape of what it’s covering.

Usage and fatigue are the primary factors in determining the lifespan of an asset. Usage is typically a pretty straightforward measure of flight hours, mileage, engine hours, years, etc. Fatigue is not as easily measured.
