I have a few questions about aircraft engines.
When evaluating a plane How do you calculate the engine? Do you simply divide the time remaining on an Engine TBO vs cost of a new one? In other words if a new engine was 35k and had 2000hr TBO that engine is worth around 17.5/hr. It seems one can then work the math up or down for value?
Also, When an Engine hits TBO. Does that mean the entire engine needs to be rebuilt? Do you break it down and inspect and replace as necessary? Just buy a new damn engine cause ya "Might as well..??"
Sorry if these are stupid questions. Plane-anomics is very difficult for me to figure out.
