B. | Do an inspection of the engine accessories installed or removed from the engine: |
(1) | Do a general visual inspection (GVI) of control and accessory components, either installed or removed for access. If defects are observed, refer to TASK 72-00-00-200-807 (72-00-00, INSPECTION 003) or to the applicable Component Maintenance Manual (CMM) for serviceability limits and repairs. |
NOTE: |

Subtask 72-00-00-220-049 |
C. | Do an inspection of the engine condition before the induction to ensure workscope effectiveness: |
(1) | Make sure that the engine performance trends are satisfactory and that the engine will have adequate performance margin to return to a service condition. |
(2) | Make sure that the engine has Life Limited Parts (LLP) stub life consistent with post repair goals. Refer to TASK 05-11-00-200-801 (05-11-00, LIFE LIMITS 001). |
(3) | If possible, make sure that all engine related fault messages within the central maintenance computer (CMC) fault history or in the electronic engine control (EEC) and engine monitoring unit (EMU) non-volatile memory (NVM) have been reviewed and appropriate maintenance action identified for the engine and parts. |

D. | Do a borescope inspection to the modules as follows: |
(1) | Booster. Refer to AMM B787-A-G72-00-00-00B-280C-A. |
(2) | High pressure compressor (HPC). Refer to AMM B787-A-G72-00-00-06B-280C-A. |
(3) | Combustor and high pressure turbine (HPT) stage 1 nozzle leading edge. Refer to AMM B787-A-G72-00-00-07B-280C-A. |
(4) | HPT. Refer to AMM B787-A-G72-00-00-09B-280C-A. |
(5) | Low pressure turbine (LPT). Refer to AMM B787-A-G72-00-00-10B-280C-A. |
4 . | Specific Inspection Procedure for Quick Turn (Q/T) or Continued Time Engines. |
Subtask 72-00-00-220-051 |
A. | This procedure gives inspection requirements for quick-turn (Q/T) engines or low maintenance (continued time) engines. A Q/T and low maintenance workscope is defined as either one or a combination of the following: |
(1) | An engine that has a shop visit for designated Service Bulletin activity. There could be more than one Service Bulletin applied at one time. |
(2) | An engine that has limited maintenance activity that results in the engine being continued time. |
(3) | Engines that are reworked in accordance with special procedures where partial disassembly is performed to enable access to specific components. |
(4) | Engines defined as Q/T in a GE Product Support Engineering (PSE) workscope or Service Bulletin. |
NOTE: |
|
Example: An engine has heavy maintenance activity (e.g. HPT rotor or stator overhaul) that results in a scheduled shop visit following the accumulation of approximately 3500 cycles. After 1000 cycles the engine has minor maintenance activity in accordance with 72-00-00 low maintenance activity. The engine is returned to service with the scheduled shop visit to occur in 2500 cycles. Thus, the original intended 3500 cycles between scheduled shop visits for heavy maintenance is kept. Cyclic life is used for example only. |

C. | Do an inspection of the engine condition before the induction to ensure workscope effectiveness: |
(1) | Make sure that the engine performance trends are satisfactory and that the engine will have adequate performance margin to return to a service condition. |
(2) | Make sure that the engine has LLP stub life consistent with post repair goals. Refer to TASK 05-11-00-200-801 (05-11-00, LIFE LIMITS 001). |
(3) | If possible, make sure that all engine related fault messages within the CMC fault history or in the EEC and EMU NVM have been reviewed and appropriate maintenance action identified for the engine and parts. |
(4) | During low maintenance, quick turn activity or continued time shop visits, soft life thresholds for modules and accessories could be exceeded. |

(a) | This does not apply to HPC stage 5 blisk tip discoloration. One time blisk is removed from HPC rotor, tip discoloration must be inspected. Refer to TASK 72-31-44-200-801 (72-31-44, INSPECTION 001) for piece-part level inspection. |
(2) | Do a GVI of all parts that were not removed but are exposed because of removal of other engine parts. If defects are observed, estimate serviceability with reference to the following publications, in the listed order: |
• |
|
• |
