Thanks for the invitation to "step up."

I already did. I've run my last five airplanes (seven engines) LOP all the time except for climbs. I'll run ROP when warranted, or LOP when I want. I like to use ALL the options, exercising my PIC decision-making abilities. New engines, custom blueprinted engines, reman engines, and high-time engines. I'm flying only about 300 hours a year, but so far, for a number of years, it's working quite well.

I hear what you are saying, and you say it loudly, but I'm not seeing anything to back it up.

Do you have a specific case where TCM has denied a warranty claim because the engine has been run LOP?

Just one.

I'm not asking for hundreds, or dozens.

One will do.

Would you care to step up?
