• Engine break-in is one factor that directly determines your engine longevity. If break-in, operational, and frequent use recommendations are followed, you can expect to receive good engine life.

• The term “remanufactured” had been used by Lycoming for many years. Though it had no legal (FAA) meaning, Lycoming chose to use it synonymously with the term rebuilt. Lycoming has subsequently changed their advertising and engine sign off to fall into line with current Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR’s).
• The term “rebuilt” is specially addressed in the FAR definition. A rebuilt engine is considered a zero time engine even though many of the parts used in rebuilding the engine are used or reworked parts. By issuing a NEW engine serial number, the respective original engine manufacturer may wipe off previous operating hours, thus zero timing the engine. Only a NEW engine is true zero time!

• Yes. You can have your engine or component overhauled, or you may request an exchange engine or component when available. PCE stocks many popular engine models and accessories. Whether we are overhauling your property or providing an exchange, the same level of work is performed. All that we ask is that your core being returned is acceptable for further overhaul. Additional fees or charges may be applicable for damaged or missing non-standard replacement parts. Late core return fees may also be applicable.

• AOG (Aircraft On Ground) is a term used to expedite orders. In the old days, this service was generally offered at no up charge to the customer. As time went on, the OEM’s have figured out that this service can be a profit center. In addition, the volume of AOG requests has increased do in part to the reduced OEM delivery on many popular parts. This has been especially true since COVID.
• CMI currently charges a 25% premium on all AOG orders in addition to requiring premium delivery service. Lycoming as well charges a parts only AOG service fee of $300.00 per order. Lycoming does NOT offer an AOG engine delivery.
• Pacific Continental Engines does offer an AOG service. We charge a flat 15% AOG fee for in-house component and accessory repair or overhaul. We also charge a 15% AOG fee on any engine overhaul or repair order. This fee is used to pay employee overtime and increased parts costs. Any associated premium freight charges other than standard surface freight are additional to the quoted AOG expedite fee. We do NOT add any additional charges to any vendor AOG fees. If we don’t meet the promised date, you don’t pay the AOG fee (applicable to PCE in-house AOG fee only). CMI and Lycoming do not offer any guarantee for AOG delivery.
