Unless there have been some POH/power chart revisions in the last couple of years, I can name several based on personal experience. They all involve turbo-supercharged engines operating at "book" power settings for 65-75% power at "best economy" fuel flows relying on a TIT redline as a last chance for redemption. Not naming names, my absolute favorite factory-mandated response to this premature meltdown is mandatory periodic TIT probe replacement. Makes the speed/range numbers look good, until the engine quits... TC |
