Engine life constraints
Overheard a bit of hangar chat the other night which seemed a bit disturbing to say the least. Apparently EASA in their wisdom are intending to cancel the CAA "on condition" life on the typical GA engines, Lycomings and Continentals etc. The life will be as determined by the manufacturer e.g. "2400 engine hours or 12 calendar years". The fact that some operators get upwards of 4000 hrs on their engines I can see a bit of a debate going on here. Do any of the engineers on the forum have the latest?
