Propeller Overhauls

Most props have a Time Between Overhaul (TBO) of 2000-2400 hours and 60-72 months, whichever comes first. You’d have to average more than 400 hours/year for the hours to come first. For most of us, the months come first. For a typical GA airplane that flies 100 hours a year, the prop may come due for overhaul in less than 500 hours. Do we have to overhaul our props that often? Does it even make sense to do that? Mike Busch deconstructs these TBOs and offers specific money- and downtime-saving recommendations.
