TASK 72-41-14-200-001-B00 HPC Rear Rotating Air Seal - Examine, Inspection-001
General
This TASK gives the procedure to examine the HP compressor rotating air seal. You must make sure that this TASK is applicable to the part that is to be examined. Refer to TASK 72-41-14-200-000.
Fig/item numbers in parentheses in the procedure agree with those used in the IPC. Only the primary Fig/item numbers are used. For the service bulletin alpha variants refer to the IPC.
The policy that is necessary for inspection is given in the SPM TASK 70-20-01-200-501.
All parts must be cleaned before any part is examined.
All parts must be visually examined for damage, corrosion and wear. Any defects that are not identified must be referred to IAE.
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.
Do not discard any part until you are sure there are no repairs available. Refer to the instructions in Repair before a discarded part is used again or oversize parts are installed.
Parts which should be discarded can be held although no repair is available. The repair of a discarded part could be shown to be necessary at a later date.
All parts must be examined to make sure that all the repairs have been completed satisfactorily.
The practices and processes referred to in the procedure by the TASK/SUBTASK numbers are in the SPM.
