TASK 72-00-31-200-006-B00 LPC Fan Module - Examine The Inlet Cone, The Inlet Cone Fairing, And The LPC Fan Module (Level 2 Inspection Limits), Inspection-006
General
This TASK gives the procedure for the inspection of LP compressor (fan) module below soft time as given in the engine management program.
A ** following repair referenced in this inspection indicates that the repair is not yet published in the current revision of the manual and the part must be rejected. Contact IAE for additional information concerning FAA approved repair date.
Where applicable these inspections are to be carried out in conjunction with those given in the interface inspections. Refer to TASK 72-00-00-200-000.
The module will be sufficiently disassembled for the components to be examined as specified in accordance with this procedure. Refer to TASK 72-31-00-030-001.
The policy that is necessary for inspection is given in the SPM TASK 70-20-01-200-501.
The practices and processes referred to in the procedure by the TASK/SUBTASK number are in the SPM.
