Going over TBO....flight school

Reading through this is making me think about proper break in procedures. I ferried a brand new 172 from Florida to California, and was told to go full throttle the whole way. 1 AM somewhere over the middle of Texas would have been the worst place to have something go wrong..

Anything that undergoes cyclic loading - pistons, connecting rods, valves, etc. (what I presume are usually replaced in an overhaul).

There are worse places to be than the middle of Texas. SoCal comes to mind...:)
