1. General
A. An unscheduled maintenance inspection is carried out when the engine is subjected to
unusual stress or operating conditions, exceeds operating limitations or gives
unsatisfactory performance. For the conditions listed in Para. 5., do the maintenance
tasks indicated.
B. If, as the result of the inspection, engine removal is required, a written report, stating
the cause of removal in detail (e.g. overspeed, overtemperature etc.) must be sent
with the engine to an overhaul/repair facility.
C. If an operational engine must be removed, a power assurance check (Ref. 72-00-00,
ADJUSTMENT/TEST) is recommended before engine removal to determine the extent
of repair required.
NOTE:
A power assurance check must not be carried out on engines which have exceeded
operating limitations (e.g. overspeed in excess of transient, overtemperature etc.) or
which have defects which can extend with engine running (i.e. oil system
contamination, etc.).

etc.)
(1) General
(a) Remains on impellers and/or LP diffuser exit ducts confirm a bird or soft
material has passed through the engine and possibly contaminated the
secondary air system, fuel nozzle and HP turbine vane cooling air passages. If
contamination occurs, hot section components deteriorate rapidly, increasing
the cost of refurbishment. Therefore, operators are recommended to carry
out a hot section inspection (HSI) (Ref. 72-03-00) and an internal inspection
of the P2.5/P3 switching valve (Ref. 72-30-00) as soon as possible after a
bird strike or ingestion of soft material is confirmed. When an HSI is not
carried out, hot end deterioration may be minimized if fuel nozzles and
P2.5/P3 switching valve are inspected to check for, and if necessary remove,
contamination.
(2) Actions Required
(a) Check LP diffuser exit ducts, LP and HP impellers for foreign object damage
(FOD) and bird remains or soft material (Ref. 72-00-00,
INSPECTION/CHECK).
