INTRODUCTION

Engine removal is process of removing the engine for certain reasons.

Reasorns for engine removal are the engine life span or time before overhaul
(TBO) which is determined by the manufacture of the engine. Besides that,
sudden speed reduction , sudden stoppage , metal particles in oil and
unstable engine operation are also the main reason of engine removal. This
process must be accomplished in an order manner to prevent personal injury
or damage to the aircraft. The procedure are also varies with the engine
models and the process must always follow the manufactures instruction
and manual. This process must be done in ventilated area.

instruction. There are many factors that comes into play when
determine the engine life. The factors are the engine life span , sudden
stoppage, sudden speed reduction ,metals particles in oil and unstable
engine operation . the process must be done in orderly to prevent
injury to personal and damge to the aircraft.the procedure must be
varies with the engine models and removing the engine must always
follow the manufacture manual
