Fuel Consumption Before A Top End Overhaul
The overhaul interval that is listed in this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Maintenance Interval Schedule" is expressed in service hours. A more accurate figure to use is fuel consumption. Fuel consumption corresponds more accurately to the engine load. Table 1 lists an average range of fuel consumption for a reasonable load factor before a top end overhaul.
