Who establishes mandatory replacement times for critical components of turbine engines?

  1. Aircraft manufacturer

  2. Component manufacturer

  3. Engine manufacturer

  4. FAA

The correct answer is: Engine manufacturer

The engine manufacturer is responsible for setting and enforcing mandatory replacement times for critical components of turbine engines. They have the most comprehensive knowledge of their engines, materials used, and potential wear and tear over time. The aircraft manufacturer determines the overall design and construction of the plane, while the component manufacturer produces individual parts that make up the engine. The FAA, or Federal Aviation Administration, sets regulations and standards for aircraft maintenance and safety but does not establish specific replacement times for engine components.
