What is the time in service of an aircraft?
What is the time in service of an aircraft? Time in service, with respect to maintenance time records, means the time from the moment an aircraft leaves the surface of the earth until it touches it at the next point of landing.
Do you age slower on a plane?
Chou did the math, and it turns out that frequent fliers actually age the tiniest bit more quickly than those of us with both feet on the ground. Planes travel at high enough altitudes that the weak gravitational field speeds up the tick rate of a clock on board more than the high speeds slow it down.
Are planes serviced after every flight?
A check. The A check is performed approximately every 400-600 flight hours, or every 200–300 flights, depending on aircraft type.
