Why track total flight time on the airframe and components?
- A.So maintenance and replacement can be planned around manufacturer time or usage-based intervals
- B.Because flight time determines the remote pilot's certificate expiration date
- C.Because the FAA bills operators by flight hour
Correct answer
A. So maintenance and replacement can be planned around manufacturer time or usage-based intervals
Why
Some inspections and part replacements are based on hours or usage rather than calendar dates. Accurate time tracking is what makes it possible to know when those items come due.
