- O200 TBO - Pilots of America
The increased TBO is affective on nearly all Continental Motors Factory produced engines beginning in February 2012 as designated by serial number 1006000 and higher Nearly all models will receive the benefit of a 200 hour increase over the existing TBO Aircraft owners that fly 40 hour per month will receive up to 400 hours
- Longest after TBo - Pilots of America
How about calendar time? My O-470R lasted 250 hours beyond TBO and 33 years since last major Calendar time aging was becoming a factor plus needing 2 cylinders and a 3rd heading south and some gaskets needing service; decided to overhaul in 2022 instead of fix Very glad about that decision since the overhaul costs soon after jumped almost 50%
- Prop TBO - Opinions? - Pilots of America
Is there really a calendar TBO for the fixed-pitch prop commonly found on warriors and 172's? btw - back in 2002 when I did an extensive overhaul of my cherokee, we pulled the prop to have it inspected and re-pitched Turns out the prop serial number didn't match the serial number in logs
- what is TBO - Pilots of America
A good example of this is the 1500 hr TBO on the IO470-L's in my airplane Put larger pistons and cylinders on the 470 crankshaft and case gives you a 25-40 HP increase and a 1800 hr TBO And TBO extension isn't just for us cheap a$$ part 91 types, many part 135 operators have regularly operated some engines to 3000 hrs (with FAA approval)
- TBO - 4000 hrs?! - Pilots of America
Was just perusing the online aircraft logs of some of my flight school's 172s It lists the TBO as 4000 hrs Just wondering if this is normal as I thought these mid 70s Lycomings were supposed to be 2000 hrs TBO A few planes seem to be pushing 3000-3500 hrs with one at 4300 hrs and just now
- Flying an engine past TBO. . . - Pilots of America
An engine with new parts and roller tappets has a longer TBO to begin with Frequency of use can be a bit misleading Short flights, frequent starting, a lot of high power setting operation, calendar age all go into the mix An engine that is operated regularly, used for XC at lower power settings is a good bet for TBO and beyond
- O-470R TBO times - Pilots of America
FWIW, the O-470-R in our 182 is 500+ over TBO and running like it's brand new We're getting compressions and oil analysis done every oil change Oil analysis shows normal, compressions are generally all at 74 80 or better!
- Engine TBO (years, not hours) question | Pilots of America
So I understand TBO on the Lycoming O-360 is 2000hrs OR 12 years whichever comes first What are your thoughts on engines that were overhauled a long time ago and technically out of time, but not hours I'm looking at one that was overhauled 20 years ago with 575 hours since
