Aircraft Maintenance Support: Boeing B777 - GE90-115B Engines

Boeing B777 - GE90-115B Engines - Low Pressure Turbine Borescope

Background/Reason:
On condition requirement of an engine requires periodical inspection of internal condition of certain critical rotating parts. The exact rate of change of these hardware conditions from the initial condition can be regularly monitored and on a planned basis, the engines can be removed, when these critical parts have reached its maximum life for repair/refurbishment/overhaul/replacement.

Frequency:
Every 500 FC since last inspection.

Material Requirement:
1.Borescope set; Borescope set complete with light, rigid and flexible; Qty 01
2.Plug-Assy P/N 1322M32G08; Qty 01; If require
3.Plug-Assy P/N 1322M32G11; Qty 01; If require
4.Antiseize P/N D50003 or D50017 or D50043; as required
