We ran a great operation at lower than 500 feet. When people you know are family and friends are in that seat you make sure that it's done right every time. We never had an engine failure partially or any thing. Running lop will not cure your own problems at all if the pilots treat the engine with content it's that simple. There are pilot and there are operators. Me at the end of the change can pick them very easily. Pilots that think they can put it over engineers are deluding them selfs.
Also our engines always made o/h.
Cheers
