Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 110 / Wednesday, June 9, 2010 / Rules and Regulations TABLE 1—ADDITIONAL BORESCOPE INSPECTION CRITERIA—Continued If the engine has experienced: Then borescope inspect: (2) A shift in the smoothed EGT trending data that exceeds 18° F (10° C), but is less than or equal to 36° F (20° C). (3) A shift in the smoothed EGT trending data that exceeds 36° F (20° C). (4) A flightcrew reported vibration determined to be caused by the highpressure rotor (N2). Within 10 cycles. Before further flight. Within 10 cycles from the report. Actions Required for Engines With Damaged HPT Rotor Blades (i) Remove the engine before further flight if the engine fails the borescope inspection in paragraph (f), (g), or (h) of this AD. (j) Before returning the engine to service, fluorescent penetrant inspect the inner diameter surface forward cone body (forward spacer arm) of the LPT rotor stage 3 disk. If a crack is found or if a circumferential band of fluorescence appears, permanently remove the disk from service. EGT System Checks (k) Inspect the turbine midframe (TMF) liner for clocking and subsequent damage to the EGT probes, within 50 cycles from the effective date of this AD or before accumulating 750 CSLI of the TMF liner for clocking, whichever occurs later. You can find further guidance about TMF liner inspections in Table 2 of this AD. (l) Thereafter, inspect the TMF liner for clocking and subsequent damage to the EGT probes within every 750 CSLI. You can find further guidance about TMF liner inspections in Table 2 of this AD. (m) If the engine shows TMF liner clocking resulting in wear through 100% of the wall thickness of the thermocouple guide sleeve, remove the engine and repair the TMF and any damage to the EGT probes before further flight. You can find further guidance about TMF liner inspections in Table 2 of this AD. (n) Check the resistance of the EGT system within 50 cycles from the effective date of 32651 this AD or before accumulating 750 cyclessince-the-last-resistance check of the EGT system, whichever occurs later. You can find further guidance about the EGT resistance check in Table 2 of this AD. (o) Thereafter, check the resistance of the EGT system within every 750 CSLI. You can find further guidance about EGT resistance checks in Table 2 of this AD. (p) Repair or replace any EGT system component that fails this check, before further flight. You can find further guidance about the EGT resistance check in Table 2 of this AD. Definitions (q) For the purposes of this AD, an EGT above redline is a confirmed over temperature indication that is not a result of EGT system error. You can find further guidance about troubleshooting EGT above redline in Table 2 of this AD. (r) For the purposes of this AD, a shift in the smoothed EGT trending data is a shift in a rolling average of EGT that can be confirmed by a corresponding shift in the trending of fuel flow or fan speed/core speed relationship. You can find further guidance about evaluating EGT trend data in GE Company Service Rep Tip 373 ‘‘Guidelines For Parameter Trend Monitoring.’’ TABLE 2—AMM REFERENCES FOR FURTHER GUIDANCE Boeing 747/CF6–50/–45 AMM ATA Boeing DC–10/CF6–50 AMM ATA Boeing MD–10/CF6–50 AMM ATA 72–00–00, 601 .................. 72–53–00 .......................... 72–53–00 .......................... 72–53–00. 72–00–00, 601 .................. 77–21–00, 501 .................. 72–00–00, 601, and 72– 52–00. 72–00–00, 601 .................. 77–21–00 .......................... 72–54–00 .......................... 72–00–00, 6–1 .................. 77–21–01 .......................... 72–54–00 and 77–21–01 .. 72–00–00, 601. 77–21–00. 72–54–00.
