TBO Increase?
I was just reading Flying magazine's article on the Diamond DA20 XLS (or
whatever they're calling their new, spiffed-up model), and noted that the TBO on the IO-360 was listed as 2200 hours. Is that accurate? I thought all Lycosaurs of the 360 vintage had 2000 hour TBOs... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Jay, Go to Lycoming's home page, click on "Support, Publications, View Aditional Service Instructions", and look at the last one, SI1009AS. If you then read "NOTE 11", you see that Lycoming allows a 200 hour TBO extension on almost any engine, if it has been operated "frequently" (more than 40 hours per month) since it's been placed in service. Perhaps Diamond's marketing Dept. is relying on that "little" assumption to come up with the 2200 hour claim? Happy Flying! Scott Skylane |

A DA20 with a IO-360 ? Isn't that like dropping a big block 455 into a chevy vega?!? Am I showing my age? |
