Common Information

TASK 72-50-10-200-009 LPT Stage 4 (Bladed) Rotor Assembly - Examine, Inspection-009

General

This TASK gives the procedure for the inspection of the stage 4 LP turbine bladed rotor.

If there are signs of overheating, refer to TASK 72-50-32-200-007-A00 (INSPECTION/CHECK-007, CONFIG) before you do this inspection.

Fig/item numbers in parentheses in the procedure agree with those used in the IPC.

The policy that is necessary for inspection is given in the SPM TASK 70-20-00-200-501.

All the parts must be cleaned where necessary before any part is examined. Refer to TASK 72-50-10-100-008 (CLEANING-008).

All parts must be visually examined for damage, corrosion and wear. Any defects that are not identified in the procedure must be referred to IAE.

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 discarded parts 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 numbers are in the SPM.

A ** following any repair referenced in this inspection indicates that the repair is not yet published in the current revision of this manual and the part must be rejected. Contact IAE for additional information concerning FAA approved data.

Do the higher level inspection procedure as found in the applicable Chapter/Section/Subject of this manual on the damaged part(s).

It is not necessary to do the higher level inspection on parts that are serviceable to the interface inspection standard.
