Similar to humans, is there a wait time [cooling time] for aircrafts also? I suspect before and after each takeoff and landing, there are bunch of tests run to verify proper function of aircraft parts and subsystems.
- Supermancho 4y agoTransport aircraft can run continuously for multiple flights. They don't turn off the engines under certain conditions (short hops, type of plane, size of loads, etc). There are regulatory inspections that require it to hangar, but I'm not familiar enough to cite any.
- TexasDawg 4y agoAircraft have to be scheduled for various maintenance checks such as "A", "B", "C", and "D" (which are the heaviest maintenance checks and take them out of service for many days/weeks). They're of course checked by the Ramp Crew and also receive a pre-flight walk around by the pilots before take-off. The only wait time is if there is a necessary repair to deal with a warning/indicator light and related repair time, hopefully does not take the aircraft out of service. Better out of service than break down in-air.
