For flying a king air part 91, what is the TBO for those engines? I've seen 3500 hrs on a website but is that recommended by the manufacturer or is it an FAA requirement?

Thanks in advance
 
Do you have a current approved maintenance program?

(e) Large airplanes (to which part 125 is not applicable), turbojet multiengine airplanes, turbopropeller-powered multiengine airplanes, and turbine-powered rotorcraft. No person may operate a large airplane, turbojet multiengine airplane, turbopropeller-powered multiengine airplane, or turbine-powered rotorcraft unless the replacement times for life-limited parts specified in the aircraft specifications, type data sheets, or other documents approved by the Administrator are complied with and the airplane or turbine-powered rotorcraft, including the airframe, engines, propellers, rotors, appliances, survival equipment, and emergency equipment, is inspected in accordance with an inspection program selected under the provisions of paragraph (f) of this section, except that, the owner or operator of a turbine-powered rotorcraft may elect to use the inspection provisions of §91.409(a), (b), (c), or (d) in lieu of an inspection option of §91.409(f).
 
Isn't it 3600 now? And is the MORE program (an on condition maintenance program) still out there? It used to be 8000 with that stc, which is crazy imo.
 
Our -60's are on condition, running trend monitoring and SOAP's. We're also running 1000 hr fuel nozzle changes. We have about 25 airplanes running 1000-1200 hrs/yr each.
