It’s Not Rocket Science: How to Achieve Your Aircraft Engine’s Time-Between Overhaul and Beyond. Many aircraft engines don’t achieve their stated time-between overhaul (TBO), necessitating premature teardowns—often well before the published benchmarks. TBO represents the manufacturer’s recommended number of running hours or the calendar duration before an aircraft engine or another component necessitates an overhaul.

The Misconception Around Over-Square Operation. Most pilots, even instructors, often fall prey to a widely spread myth about over-square operation. They’re mistakenly convinced that the manifold pressure in InHg should never exceed the RPM divided by 100. Many have heard cautionary tales of engines blowing up due to over-square operations. Consequently, we’ve been trained in
