flight hours
Airtime on record
Flight hours are the cumulative time an aircraft has spent in the air, used to measure experience, maintenance intervals, and regulatory compliance.
A pilot's flight hours indicate training and expertise: She has over 3,000 flight hours.
Aircraft require inspections after specific flight hour thresholds.
In military and commercial aviation, flight hours determine readiness and pilot certification levels.
