Wat verstaat men onder een 'landing' ? Is dat een retour tripje of echt strikt gezien een enkele landing ?A European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) ruling that is under serious discussion would limit aircraft life to 60,000 flying hours or 20,000 landings, whichever came first, after which the aircraft would need to be withdrawn from service & scrapped. There is talk of a series of modifications, but these would be so costly that it would be cheaper to buy a new aircraft. The Americans are set to follow suit & this will have a big effect on new leases of second hand aircraft - who would want an aircraft with only 10,000 hours left unless for the summer only?
