  1. At a guess.

    Number of hours airframe has flown.

    Number hours engine has run since it received a service and decoke.

    Flight permit valid until Sept. 2008.

    Flight timer fitted.


  2. paul contact the C.A.A

  3. Hours on airframe

    Hours on engine

    Dont know

    Dont know

    Legal til then

    Timer for flight time

  4. 1-The airframe has 476.2 Hours of flight time on it (you might wish to research to see what the average life expectancy is; it's possible it's due for some maintenance.)

    1-The engine has 151.4 hours on it, since being zero-timed/decoked

    3- It's current airworthiness certificate is good until Sept.  Realize YOU'LL be coughing up the cash to get it reinspected. You won't be able to legally fly this aircraft after September until you do. This might be related to issue #1 above.  I'd ask the owner.

    The aircraft has a flight timer .

  5. Airframe is the total time that the aircraft has been in the air.

    Engine time is the time it has een run total since engine service. This is given from start up to shut down.

    Decoked means that the carbon build up has been removed.

    The flight permit is valid until Sept 2008. Which means it must have an inspection done.

    The flight timer records the time the engine has been running.
