Aviation glossary · Limits and countersUtilisation
The hours and cycles an aircraft actually flies over a period, used to forecast when maintenance and life limits will fall due.
Why it matters
Every forecast rests on an assumed rate. A fleet whose utilisation changes seasonally will produce due dates that quietly move.
In AerSynx
Forecast scenarios are independent analyses on shared aircraft, so an operator and a CAMO can hold different assumptions without overwriting each other. Overview →
