Folks,
What's with all these acronyms in for-sale ads ? I am considering buying an airplane, and I still don't understand much of the terminology used in aircraft sale ads.
For instance, what are TTA, TSMOH, TSTOH, TSPOH ? I realize they have something to do with engine overhaul times but I don't know much beyond that.
Also, when it comes to avionics in the airplane, they start reeling off
the make and model numbers without a pause. For example what is a
KX155 w/KI 209 (LOC/GS) ? How about a TKM MK11 ? Are these supposed to
mean something to me ?
What's wrong with full word descriptions ? I think the internet
is fully capable of handling a few extra characters :) When you are trying
to sell a $50,000 piece of equipment I don't think it is unreasonable to expect a detailed description!
Pardon my ignorance if these are well known acronyms....
