US aircraft record cards meanings!?
Hi
again I have had another record card and need to know a few abbreviations. Looked on the web, a lot for modern but nothing that seems to relate to WWII. Condition Column is says Y-Y. Guessing this is fully airworthy? Date Column F.Y and C.MO Assuming this is Fiscal Year and Calender Month. So 2 and 3 is 1942 and March. Age Column 1, 2, 3. This is age by month. Flying Time Column - is the confusing one. This month - Hours / T The hours is fair enough, say 87 54 Assume the two times in the month could be day and night? The T is the query. After the 87 is 2 and after the 53 is 9. Thought it might be Take offs which does not fit. Can anyone confirm the meaning of the T column? Other things in remarks coloumn WR 1-19-43 O.S. & D. G & L If anyone can help with these then great. regards MS |

Based on my research, the T stands for total hours of flying time.
Hope this helps, Ed |

Thnaks for your reply. Does not add up though. Monthly totals since first commisioned. Assume these are cumulative? 17 - 2 104 - 4 158 - 7 216 - 8 247 - 5 288 - 1 327 - 8 419 - 3 The first three were in the hours column, the last digit in the T although admitatly there was not a clear speace between the the numbers and the last digit. Just how it sits in the form. Now it could beam total flying hours, but would a training aircraft have undertaken 4193 hours in 9 months? 419 seems more realistic Still confused.(RAF cards are a lot easier but OK, they do not have flying hours.). regards Mark Last edited by markjsheppard; 5th October 2005 at 22:15. |
