Default Engine Failures per Million Hours

It totally depends on maintenance. How many engine failures happen on
engines past TBO time? How many sat for several years without running,
gathering rust.

A good example would be to look at the big flight schools. I know
several have not have any engine failures. Most medium to large schools
will have at least 6,000 hrs a year. If most have been around 10-20
years, that tells you something.
