What does prorated hours mean in fractional ownership?

• A. Hours assigned to a partner
• B. Hours that expire at the end of the month
• C. Hours attributed to an equity share that are usable by the owner over time
• D. Hours purchased but not assigned to flight time

Answer: (C)

In fractional ownership, prorated hours are the flight hours allocated to your equity share in proportion to how much you own. Because you hold a percentage of the aircraft, you earn a corresponding portion of the total usable hours, and these credits can be used over time as you schedule flights. They accumulate with your ownership and remain usable across future trips, rather than disappearing after a fixed period. This concept isn’t about hours simply assigned to another partner, nor about hours that are purchased and left unassigned; it’s about the hours tied to your ownership that you can apply to actual flying as time goes on.
