Modelling engine wear and WEP limitations

The "language" does not state that and the pilot's notes for the Merlin III state:

Sure it does! States right there he must make a log book entry and have the aircraft inspected.



What do you think is going to happen when he makes that log book entry and reports it to maintenance? They must comply with their orders and conduct an inspection, too.

You think the pilot overrides the mechanic on whether or not the airplane is ready to fly?

No, the airplane is grounded until the mechanic conducts the inspection.

Most pilots would engage overboost during an emergency only. Once the danger was gone you would imediatley ease of on the power, because the next thing on your mind would be, lets not blow the engine... it's the only one I've got.

Exactly. It is no different than the Take Off rating in a Lycoming O-360. As soon as the trees are cleared, it is time to back off. Otherwise you risk having the engine fail as it is not designed to maintain 28mmHg @ 2700 rpm.

It is much better to be down on the ground wishing you were flying than flying and wishing you were down on the ground.

It amazing that most gamers just think changing a few parts is no big deal. They don't seem to understand the low safety margins required for flight. Facts are it is the simple things that can kill you in aviation because of those low margins.

Any modification to the standard engine configuration to include high compression pistons, electronic ignition, FADEC, tuned induction and exhaust, and turbocharging or turbonormalizing have the potential to adversely effect the propeller vibration characteristics and stress amplitudes.

It does not state: "and have the aircraft inspected."

It does not call for an inspection. It requires a report and log entry and then the engineer officer decides whether an inspection is needed. Dowding's memo states that an inspection will be done "when convenient" only after more than than 5 mins at 12lb.

If you really are a pilot, then I think you should show a bit more maturity and stop making things up and realize that wartime combat is not the same as peacetime civil aviation.

Show us an order where an inspection is mandatory and not discretionary.
