Sure it does, I have read that. It is neither an AD nor an item in the airworthiness limitations section of the aircraft maintenance manual, so compliance under private category of operations is not mandatory by my reading. Am I wrong? (I am fully aware that I may be - hence my reason for posting). My engine has a manufacturer's recommended calendar TBO of 12 years, yet I am not required to overhaul it then, as it has appropriate on-condition monitoring (as do my magnetos at 500 hourly intervals - and every time I fly). How can one be justified yet the other not?
