Nice pic TonyG13, love the black and white. if the newer buildings in the background were not there you would say that it's original.

Step 1: Remove helm fake wood panels
Step 2: Inspect wiring harness
Step 3: Imagine if Rinker built an airplane

LoL! And I think that pic was before I wiped the cowling clean.

my son was working on a CRJ 900 today and showed me a picture similar to this one. love the aviation industry.

That cowling was truly disgustingn't.  

(That's a thing the Admiral's 7th-grade students taught me to do:  take any word and make it opposite by adding n't to the end.  Now I am stupidn't, eh?)

To put things into perspective, the inlet alone is over $1 million. And that has nothing to do with the engine... I know this because my last 650 had a bird strike and had to have it replaced.

The rink finally froze enough on New Year’s Day to get the kids out on the ice!

A 650 with open cowlings!  That’s a familiar sight. Lol

Handymans342

Aero, how much is a new engine?

aero3113

@Handymans342 , I’m not sure what the cost of a new engine would be but I think overhaul is over $5 million.

Is that a Pratt or GE engine?

Aero, whats the maintenance intervals?

aero3113

Oil filters are every 1200 hrs, there’s no midlife inspections on these engines. Most of all the components are “on condition”. Combustion section and HP turbine inspections are every 3000 hrs. Fan blades every 600 hrs. Fan blade discard is every 5000 engine cycles (not hours).

What oil and filter do you use? Don’t say Fram. What is the fan blade made out of? What about cabin pressurization cycle inspections?
