Engine life
Posted: Wed Jun 26, 2019 3:02 pm
Hi guys,
Observation: even though I fly the PC6 within margins, I see the engine degradation level decrease dramatically in MVAMS over several flights.
After a flight of 2-3 I can even get engine failure, while still flying her within safety margines, so it's not just graphical feedback from MVAMS:
the engine is actually degrading way fast!
Is there something I could be doing wrong in this regard?
It seems strange to me that an engine with a real life HSI of 1800 and TBO of 3600 hours would barely make 5-6 hours before doing POOF.
