This engine model went in which a/c?

[Let'sgoflying!]

Let's say you want to search for every aircraft type that ever had a particular engine installed. Where to look? FAA site?

"Ie, in what a/c are you likely to find the IO-360?"

Ron Wan probably has it somewhere in his databases...

If it's a Lycoming IO-360, the home page of the Lycoming website has a drop-down cross reference by engine model number. Maybe the Continental site does too; I haven't looked for it.

Not in the registration databases; engines are often listed as "O-360 Series" without detail as to the exact model.

Somewhere in my files is a book I got from Lycoming about 25 years ago, showing what was installed in what. Hard to believe they wouldn't have a digital version, now.

It's not official, but here's one:

OK, it's an IO-520K, specifically the 'K'

According to Lycoming that engine was most common in the Piper PA32 series aircraft. There are many others however.

Methinks that would be the IO-540-K. The IO-520-K is a Continental. I only recall them being in Bellanca Vikings, though there may be others.

Yes it's the Viking's Continental IO-520-K.
What other airplanes?
