What do you think, it is a good idea to put a new engine on a high TTAF?
1991 Piper Archer II

Tell me what is """high time""
It's around 8600 TTAF 1981 Archer II...
Which brings up the ?, which would you rather; a 1975 plane with only 500 hrs on airframe/engine or a plane with 10000hrs and a overhauled engine with 500 hrs?
Do airframes have theoritical limits?
What I mean is in regards to the resale value....
The resale value will definitely go down if you don't put an engine on it.
No problems.
Now if you don't want the airframe anymore, you can give it to me.
Call me crazy but I prefer a runout engine then I can add new engine and maintain it with no surprises resulting from flying a runout

I'll prefer the 500 young aircraft.
The one that's been sitting on the ramp for the last 30 years next to the ocean? Like I said, not enough information.
Sadly, yes. We just don't know what those are for all aircraft. See Aloha Airlines Flight 243. In response, the FAA has mandated ongoing aging aircraft inspection programs, time limits on certain parts (for example, 18,000 hours limit on Piper Tomahawk stock spars), and for some aircraft models, permanent retirement limits.
I was assuming all things being equal, since a lot of replies seem not to be bother by high hours.
