Hi everyone.
Could you please give me information about the terms used when describing "hours" for a particular aircraft.
I've seen things like SMOH and the like, but would really appreciate a list of all such abbreviations, what they stand for, what they actually mean (in plain English), and what restrictions/implications each has in respect of types of operation, insurance, maintenance (in general terms) etc.
I'm at the very earliest stage of contemplating purchasing my own aircraft (old, SEP, perhaps 172 or PA28) and need help understanding the most basic before I can make any realistic assessment of whether or not it's a possibility.
Cheers, PP
