6. The “Hobbs Meter” is commonly used by the aviation industry as an acceptable
device to record time elapsed while electrical power is applied to the device. The
conditions under which the Hobbs Meter records operation vary widely within the
aviation industry. Continental Motors does not specify a method to record engine
operating hours, rather, Continental Motors defers to the end application installer.
NOTE: TBO periods specified in this document are only estimates and do
not reflect warranty periods. For engine warranty coverage, refer to the
original Aircraft Engine Warranty received with the engine.
