Time between overhauls (abbreviated as TBO or TBOH) is the manufacturer's recommended number of running hours or calendar time before an aircraft engine or other component requires overhaul. [1] On rotorcraft, many components have recommended or mandatory TBOs, including main rotor blades, tail rotor blades and gearboxes. [2]

Flex temp is a technique used to produce cost savings through increased engine life and reduced overhaul and fuel costs [1] for airliners by allowing them to take-off at less than rated thrust. [ 2 ] For Airbus and Fokker aircraft the technique is known as flex temp or just flex .
An aircraft engine, often referred to as an aero engine, is the power component of an aircraft propulsion system. Aircraft using power components are referred to as powered flight . [ 1 ] Most aircraft engines are either piston engines or gas turbines , although a few have been rocket powered and in recent years many small UAVs have used ...
