Now, just what engine-operating instructions was AOPA talking about?


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...
