SMOH

SMOH stands for "since major overhaul".
I haven't been able to find what DURG stands for, and I too at first thought it could have something to do with the airframe, but the acronym for that is TTAF (total time airframe) and I can't see how the Spanish DURG fits with that. I'm guessing that DURG stands for "desde última revisión general", which would fit the sense (how many hours flown since the helicopter was overhauled and since the engine was overhauled), but it's a guess!!

Hope this glossary helps you.

SMOH - since major overhaul. Term used in aircraft for sale advertisements where engine hours are quoted (see TBO). Also STOH, since top overhaul, TTSN, total time since new; TTAF/E, total time airframe/engine,
TBO - time between overhauls, an engine manufacturer's recommended overhaul interval in hours, a rough and not guaranteed guide to life expectancy of an aero-engine before it will need overhaul.
