PART 3 - LINE MAINTENANCE

SECTION 2 - REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

1. GENERAL

A. This section describes the removal and installation of components and accessories
applicable during line maintenance of the engine, but excluding airframe accessories
information. Any accessory which is replaced must be tested (refer to Part 2, Testing).
These instructions are written with the understanding that the standard practices
described in Part 2, Standard Practices, have been read and fully understood.

CAUTION: REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF COMPONENTS MUST BE CARRIED


OUT WITH THE ENGINE IN A HORIZONTAL ATTITUDE WITHOUT LATERAL
ROTATION. THIS PRECAUTION WILL PREVENT THE RESIDUAL OIL IN
NO. 1 AND NO. 2 BEARING COMPARTMENTS FROM ENTERING THE
COMPRESSOR THROUGH AIR SEALS.
B. For special tools and fixtures used in removal and replacement procedures, refer to
Section 1, preceding.

PROPELLER SHAFT OIL SEAL

2. REPLACEMENT (Pre-SB1227)

A. A propeller shaft oil seal of a non-split configuration is initially installed at engine


manufacture or overhaul. Should replacement of the oil seal be required at maintenance,
a split type seal or non-split type seal can be installed.

3. REMOVAL - NON-SPLIT TYPE SEAL (Pre-SB1227)

A. Procedure

(1) Remove eight bolts and washers that secure the seal retaining ring to the thrust
bearing cover.

(2) Back off the seal retaining ring (Pre-SB1137 engines) or remove both halves of the
retaining ring (Post-SB1137 engines).

(3) Work out the seal element from the cavity, taking care not to damage the cavity,
runner or cover.

(4) Remove the seal element from the shaft by cutting, and discard.

4. REMOVAL - NON-SPLIT TYPE SEAL (Post-SB1227, Pre-SB1377/Post-SB1390 AND


Post-SB1377 EXCLUDING PT6A-6A ENGINES)

A. Procedure (See Figure 3-2-3)

(1) Disconnect the drain tube (if fitted) from the thrust bearing cover (3).

Page 3-2-1
Nov 26/2004
PRATT & WHITNEY CANADA
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MANUAL PART NO. 3015442

(2) Remove the eight bolts (7) and washers (6) that secure the oil seal retaining ring
(Pre-SB1377/Post-SB1390) or ring halves (Post-SB1377/Post-SB1381) (1) to the
thrust bearing cover (3) and move the retaining ring forward toward the flange, or
remove ring halves.

(3) Slit across the gasket (2) half-way between the holes at the 1 and 2 o’clock
positions (Pre-SB1377/Post-SB1390) or open the pre-split gasket
(Post-SB1377/Post-SB1381) and remove the gasket. Retain the gasket if it is in a
good condition.

(4) If installed, remove the support ring halves (8, Post-SB1390 only).

(5) Work out the seal element (4) from the cavity, taking care not to damage the cavity,
runner or cover.

(6) Remove the garter spring from the seal element, and remove the garter spring and
seal element from the shaft.

5. INSTALLATION - NON-SPLIT TYPE SEAL (Pre-SB1227)

A. Procedure (See Figures 3-2-1 and 3-2-2)

(1) Ensure that the propeller shaft flange and the interior of the retaining ring halves
(Post-SB1137 engines) are free of nicks and burrs. Check the thrust bearing cover
seal cavity for possible damage caused during removal of the old seal.

CAUTION: AVOID APPLYING LOADS LOCALLY TO LIP OF SEAL. SEAL ELEMENT


IS SOFT AND HAS LOW TEAR RESISTANCE. IT MUST BE HANDLED
WITH CARE AT ALL TIMES TO PREVENT NICKING OR ANY FORM OF
DAMAGE.
(2) Moisten the seal element in engine oil and install on the shaft with the Vee-side
facing the cavity in the thrust bearing cover.

NOTE: To facilitate installation of seal on propeller shaft, it is recommended that a


strip of plastic material (polyethylene sheet) be taped over the flange of
propeller shaft, then liberally coated with engine oil. This will enable the seal
to be slipped over flange and retaining ring without undue stress. It is
also recommended that the new seal be heated in engine oil (not more than
93°C (200°F) for approximately 20 minutes to make the seal more
flexible as it is being stretched over the propeller shaft flange.

(3) Install a garter spring (see Figure 3-2-1) into the Vee-side of the seal. (See Figure
3-2-2)

(4) Gently press the seal into the cavity in the thrust bearing cover, and work around
with thumb pressure until the seal is correctly seated.

(5) Locate the retaining ring halves (Post-SB1137 engines) on the thrust bearing cover,
with the split line as close as possible to the horizontal plane. Install bolts and
washers. Torque the bolts in a diametrical sequence, 36 to 40 lb.in., and apply safety
wire.

A. Procedure (See Figure 3-2-13)

CAUTION: TAKE EXTREME CARE WHEN HANDLING FUEL NOZZLES AND SHEATHS.
WEAR CLEAN, LINT-FREE, COTTON GLOVES WHILE HANDLING
COMPONENTS; FINGERPRINTS LEFT ON ORIFICE MAY PRODUCE A
POOR SPRAY PATTERN.
CAUTION: ENSURE THAT THE SHEATH FOR THE NO. 8 FUEL NOZZLE IS NOT USED
IN ANY OTHER POSITION. THE LOCATING HOLE IS PECULIAR TO THE
NO. 8 FUEL NOZZLE ONLY.
(1) Install sheaths on fuel manifold adapters ensuring that locating pins engage hole in
sheaths.

NOTE: Primary fuel manifold adapters are identified by a single weld blob on the
larger mounting flange. Other weld blobs appearing on the knuckle section
of the adapters should be ignored.

(2) Using feeler gage, check circumference gap between fuel manifold adapters and
sheaths, maximum gap allowed is 0.003 inch (See Figure 3-2-16). Larger gap
suggests one or both parts are distorted. Return parts for repair as necessary.

(3) Carefully check gap between fuel nozzle tip and side of hole in sheath (See Figure
3-2-16), a clearance of 0.020 inch is required. If a clearance is less at any point,
this suggests one or both parts are distorted. Return parts for repair as necessary.

(4) Assemble fuel dump valve coupling (6) together with new preformed packing to dump
valve (7). Torque nut 40 to 65 lb.in.

(5) Assemble nut (5), new packing retainer and new preformed packing, on coupling,

NOTE: Some early engines may be equipped with manifold adapters having
equal diameter bores at each end and transfer tubes having equal
O.D. at each end. These adapters should be assembled as shown on
Figure 3-2-18. Later engines have adapters with different diameter
bores at each end, with transfer tubes to suit. These adapters can only
be assembled as shown on Figure 3-2-17. The two types are
interchangeable on the basis of one new transfer tube for a comparable
quantity of like parts of the older type.

NOTE: Do not safety wire bolts at this stage as they must be retorqued after
engine ground check.

(e) Post-SB1276: Torque bolts sequentially 15 to 20 lb.in., then continue in same


sequence 32 to 36 lb.in. without loosening; safety wire bolts in pairs.

NOTE: After torquing a maximum 0.001 in. gap is allowed between the
adapter and sheath flanges (See Figure 3-2-13).

SECTION 3 - INSPECTION

1. INTRODUCTION

A. The inspection procedures detailed are considered a normal function of operating


organizations and are intended as a guide for minimum inspection and maintenance
requirements. ROUTINE inspection coincides with the daily or preflight airframe
inspection. MINOR coincides with a typical airframe zone inspection. The intervals at
which these inspections are performed may be altered by the aircraft manufacturers
maintenance program and approved by the local airworthiness authority. Engines
maintained in compliance with the aircraft manufacturer’s approved maintenance program
shall be as required by performance monitoring in accordance with the
operator/regulator authority agreed plan. Engines operating in sandy or dusty
environments or in smog or salt-laden atmospheres should be subjected to regular
inspections for corrosion and compressor erosion (Ref. Table 3-3-1). Hot Section
inspection intervals are outlined in the applicable service bulletin (Ref. AIRWORTHINESS
LIMITATIONS), and will be updated periodically as dictated by service experience and
time-between- overhauls (TBO). If, in the light of experience, it becomes necessary to
modify procedures, these will be included in subsequent revisions to this manual.

cockpit controls to the engine units is connected to permit full and free movement. Make
sure that the controls are adjusted to permit over-travel of the control lever, full
operation of the engine unit and that the linkage can be operated without interference.
Also investigate and eliminate any slack in the control system. Lubricate and adjust all
controls in accordance with the aircraft manufacturer’s instructions.

MANUAL PART NO. 3015442

CORROSION

3. GENERAL

A. Corrosion may be identified as metal loss or pitting, but more usually appears as local
swelling or buildup due to the greater volume occupied by nickel oxides. These
corrosion products vary in color from black to green and in the advanced state there will
be associated cracking, referred to as exfoliation. Care should be taken to distinguish
between corrosion buildup and possible light brown or rust colored deposits which are
essentially harmless combustion by products. The latter are usually more widespread
over hot section components and while possibly affecting performance, will not directly
affect compressor turbine and power turbine blade integrity.

TUBING AND HOSE ASSEMBLIES

4. TUBING

A. Procedure

(1) Inspect all engine scavenge oil, pressure oil, pneumatic control and fuel supply
tubing, except where special instructions apply, for the following:

(a) Circumferential scratches in tubes are acceptable provided they do not exceed
a 45 degree segment on circumference. Any number of scratches is permissible;
these may be blended out provided depth of blend does not exceed
one-quarter of the wall thickness of tube.

(b) Longitudinal scratches in tubes must not exceed 1⁄2 inch in length. Any number
of scratches is permissible.

(c) Nicks and chafing marks in tubes are acceptable provided three-quarters of the
wall thickness remains after blending. Each blended area must not exceed
on-half square inch.

(d) Dents in tubes are of limited acceptability, provided there are no restrictions to
flow caused by sharp edges or corners. Dents are unacceptable within one
inch of ferrule scarf-welds, or in a blended area.

(e) Minor isolated pitting is acceptable if not greater than 0.003 inch in depth.
Clusters of pits should be blended out to a maximum depth of 0.005 inch.

(f) Rust and stains on tubes are acceptable if they can be removed by light
polishing with very mild abrasive.

5. INSULATED TUBES

A. Procedure

(1) Examine silicone rubber sheathing for damage. Surface cuts up to three inches in
length are rectified by use of cement filler (Ref. Repair).

Page 3-3-7
Dec 02/2005
PRATT & WHITNEY CANADA
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MANUAL PART NO. 3015442

(a) If damage exceeds limits specified above (a), but depth is superficial, sheathing
may be repaired by replacement of damaged portion (Ref. Repair).

(b) Examine flanged end fitting for elongated holes.

(c) Examine tubes for cracks, especially at brazed joints.

(d) Check tube assemblies for corrosion, dents, fretting, nicks, pitting and
scratches.

(e) Blend out minor damage that does not exceed limits specified in Inspection,
Tubing.

(f) Examine couplings and threaded fittings for cracks or damaged threads.

(g) Check tube bores for obstructions.

(h) Reject tube assemblies damaged beyond specified limits (Ref. Inspection,
Tubing).

(i) Examine insulation on pneumatic tube assemblies for cuts in outer rubber
sheath. Cuts up to three inches long may be repaired. (Ref. Repair.)

6. HEATED TUBES

A. Procedure

(1) Check resistance value of heating element and lead of pneumatic tube assemblies
using Turbine Temperature Indicating System Test Set (Barfield TT1000A) or
equivalent. The resistance should be as follows:

(a) Pre-SB1294 heated tube assembly, the resistance should be 20.0 ± 1.4 ohms.

(b) Post-SB1294 heated tube assemblies, the resistance (measured in parallel)


should be 19.0 ± 3.0 ohms.

NOTE: Test Set (Barfield TT1000A) obtainable from:

Barfield Instrument Corp.


PO Box 527705
Miami, FL 33152-7705
USA
TEL: 305-871-5629

NOTE: Post-SB1294 heated tube assemblies, measured individually, should


be as follows:
P/N’s 3030944 and 3030944A: 35.0 ± 3.5 ohms
P/N’s 3030978 and 3030978A 40.0 ± 4.0 ohms
P/N 3030944B:39.0 ± 2.0 ohms
P/N 3030978B:41.2 ± 2.0 ohms

MANUAL PART NO. 3015442

7. HOSE ASSEMBLIES

A. Examine high and low pressure hose assemblies for crimps and buckling. High pressure
hoses with such defects must be replaced, while low pressure hoses with such defects
are acceptable. Flattening, caused by a permanent set at the bend of an assembly
and not associated with a crimp or buckling, is acceptable.

NOTE: A crimp or buckle is an abrupt change in the hose teflon inner liner contour
caused when the hose is bent at too small a radius. As a result, the liner will
be partially or completely collapsed on one location. This condition, which can be
detected through the outer hose covering, is similar to that which occurs
when a cardboard tube is bent. When a hose assembly is straightened, the
collapsed area will expand, but the inner liner contour may remain collapsed.

8. METAL BRAID

A. Inspect metal braid sections of pneumatic tube assemblies for cuts in metal braid. Three
broken wires per plait, or six broken wires per linear foot, are acceptable. Replace tubes
on which wire braid is chafed or worn through to electrical conductors.

ACCESSORIES

9. STARTER-GENERATOR GEARSHAFT

A. Procedure

(1) Inspect starter-generator gearshaft internal splines for wear, after starter-generator
removal as follows: (Ref. Fig. 3-3-1).

(a) Set Gage (PWC30499-50) to 0.660 inch dimension ’A’ (View A, Figure 3-3-1)
as follows:

1 Release gage clamp screw (3) and adjust ball and screw assemblies (4) to
obtain dimension ’A’ (0.660 inch).

2 Tighten gage clamp screw (3) and check dimension ’A’ has not altered.

(b) Insert gage into gearshaft, tilting gage so that it enters gearshaft splines at
approximately 45 degrees.

(c) Slowly allow gage to support itself in gearshaft splines. If gage supports itself,
the gearshaft is serviceable. If gage does not support itself, gearshaft must be
replaced as detailed in Part 4, REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.

IN-SERVICE INSPECTION

10. HOT SECTION COMPONENTS

A. Procedure

(1) In-service inspection is a troubleshooting procedure used to find the reason for
performance deterioration. Parts can be inspected using a borescope (Ref. Part
3, Section 3, Inspection) or by removing the power section. Refer to Part 2, Section
7, Troubleshooting, for areas to be inspected.

(a) Using a borescope is more practical for this inspection. Removal and
installation of the power section components/assemblies could result in damage
to parts and/or distortion of sealing surfaces causing gas leaks and
performance loss.

(b) Acceptable damage will have to be documented and the rate of progression
monitored. Record engine module time and cycles, fuel nozzle port used, if
found by borescope, component, description, location and dimensions of defect.

(c) If rotating components are found with unacceptable damage during inspection,
an HSI must be done before the next flight. If damaged non- rotating
components are found, except when holes are burnt through the combustion
chamber (Ref. Para. 12.A.(c)), or the CT vane ring trailing edge defects are
beyond limits shown (Ref. Fig. 3-3-2), the HSI may be delayed, providing
an engine ground power test (Ref. Aircraft Maintenance Manual) is done to check
engine performance.

(d) An additional engine ground power test and inspection of the affected area
must be done after 50 hours. If further extensions are required, subsequent
inspections and engine ground power test intervals will depend on the rate of
progression and level of deterioration. Keeping an engine in service after
components have deteriorated may substantially increase the cost of subsequent
repairs/refurbishments due to the effect on downstream components.

(e) Gas path components downstream of components having material missing


must be inspected to check if secondary damage has occurred. Pay special
attention to rotating components. Compressor turbine (CT) vane airfoils burnt
through at the trailing edge (both pressure and suction sides) may mean
replacement of the complete set of CT blades, depending on the area of the
surface burnt through.

(f) The ability of an engine to produce the TO power required by the flight manual
for the actual Tam is the only engine power airworthiness requirement.
However, on some installations the aircraft maintenance manual provides an
engine ground power test. This test may be used to confirm TO power is
produced within operating limits over the complete range of ambient
temperature and altitude for which the engine/aircraft is certified. If, at an
anticipated high ambient temperature and/or altitude, T5 and Ng will approach
or exceed the maximum limits, an HSI is recommended before the actual
conditions occur.

NOTE: When T5 and Ng approach or are anticipated to approach or exceed


the maximum limits, troubleshoot the engine/installation before doing
an HSI.

(g) Carbon accumulation inside fuel nozzle passages is the principle cause of
spray pattern degradation which results in non-uniform combustion and
local high temperature peaks. Exposure to these peaks contributes to premature
hot section deterioration. Carbon accumulation is progressive and can affect
all nozzles. Therefore, inspect all nozzles to minimize premature deterioration
occurring at other locations.

(h) If component deterioration exceeds limits, either replace the individual


component or do an HSI, depending on the general condition of the hot section
and engine performance.

(i) The inspections are recommended concurrent with scheduled engine


maintenance checks applicable to individual aircraft installations.

11. POWER SECTION MODULE

A. Procedure

(1) As an alternative to using the borescope, proceed as follows to remove/install the


power section module for visual inspection (heavy maintenance only):

(a) Removal

1 Remove power section (Ref. Part 3, Section 2, Removal & Installation).

2 Remove CT disk assembly (Ref. Part 3, Section 2, Removal & Installation).

3 Remove combustion chamber inner liner (Ref. Part 3, Section 2, Removal


& Installation).

4 Remove CT vane ring assembly, shroud housing and small exit duct (Ref.
Part 4, Section 2, Removal & Installation).

NOTE: Do not separate these parts unless CT stator damage exceeds


limits.

5 Inspect hot section (Ref. Para. 18.).

(b) Installation

2 Install CT disk assembly (Ref. Part 3, Section 2, Removal & Installation).

3 Install combustion chamber inner liner (Ref. Part 3, Section 2, Removal &
Installation).

4 Install power section (Ref. Part 3, Section 2, Removal & Installation).

12. COMBUSTION CHAMBER (SMALL EXIT DUCT, INNER AND OUTER COMBUSTION
CHAMBER LINER ASSEMBLIES)

A. Procedure

(1) Combustion chamber liner cracks may be repairable, and an HSI is recommended
before they progress to such an extent that component replacement is required.
Converging cracks in the inner and outer combustion chamber liner walls which do
not meet are acceptable. Inspect affected area at 100 hours. Subsequent
inspection intervals must not exceed 400 hours.

(a) Plasma top coating (ceramic) loss revealing undercoat (diffused aluminide) on
outer and inner liners is acceptable, providing base metal is not burnt or
eroded.

(b) Small areas (approx. 1 sq.in.) bulging and/or hot spots on inner or outer liner
walls may be repairable and a HSI is recommended for economic reasons.
However, the engine may remain in service, providing the associated fuel
nozzle(s) are inspected and replaced if not within limits. Inspect the affected area
at intervals not exceeding 400 hours.

(c) Holes in inner and outer liner walls are unacceptable. An HSI must be done to
identify and then replace the affected component. Associated fuel nozzle(s)
must be inspected and replaced if not within limits.

(d) Cracked or distorted cooling rings on liners may be repairable. For economic
reasons, a HSI is recommended before cooling rings are burnt through and
pieces enter the gas stream. Bulging and/or burning in the dome area, associated
or not with axial cracks, is acceptable provided the axial cracks (circumferential
cracks are unacceptable) do not exceed 1.0 inch in length or 0.030 inch in
width. Alternatively, the engine may remain in service if it is understood that the
cooling air flow is changed, and the rate at which the combustion chamber
deteriorates may increase. Thus, if a HSI is not done, combustion chamber liner
having distorted cooling rings or converging cracks must have the associated
fuel nozzle(s) inspected and replaced if not within specified limits. Inspect the
damaged area at 100 hours. Subsequent inspection intervals must not
exceed 400 hours.

Page 3-3-14
Dec 02/2005
PRATT & WHITNEY CANADA
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MANUAL PART NO. 3015442

(e) Excessive carbon deposits inside combustion chamber liners could be the
result of poor fuel atomization by the fuel nozzles (indicated by deposits
around fuel nozzle bosses). Distortion of combustion chamber liner cooling
rings may produce carbon deposits in the dome area downstream of the affected
cooling ring. If excessive carbon deposits are found, flow check the fuel
nozzles. If the nozzles are serviceable, the combustion chamber liner is the
probable cause. Inspect the CT blades, as erosion by carbon particles (some
carbon particles remain in the gas stream and are not deposited in the
combustion area) may damage and eventually cause CT blade replacement. If
CT blades are eroded, refer to Para. 14. If CT blades are not eroded, the
engine may remain in service and the CT blades and combustion chamber liners
must be inspected within 100 hours. Subsequent inspection intervals must
not exceed 400 hours.

(f) As the structural integrity of the small exit duct is not affected, cracks and open
radial cracks extending from the inner to the outer diameter are acceptable
(length not limited), and an unlimited amount of coating loss is acceptable. Holes
less than 0.500 in. in diameter in the outer wall are acceptable. If holes or
open cracks are found, a HSI is recommended for economic reasons. The engine
may remain in service, and HSI delayed, providing it is understood that the
CT vane ring cooling air flow is affected, increasing the rate of deterioration.
When damage is found, inspect the CT vane ring and associated fuel nozzle.
Inspect the damaged area at 100 hours. Subsequent inspection intervals
must not exceed 400 hours. If deterioration exceeds the above limits, an HSI is
recommended.

(g) Cracks along, or across, the dome to outer liner seam weld are acceptable
provided the cracks do not intersect the fuel manifold support bracket.
Inspect damage at 100 hours. Subsequent inspections are at the operators
discretion but must not exceed 400 hours.

13. CT VANE RING

A. Procedure

CAUTION: IF ANY CT VANE HAS TRAILING EDGE BURN THROUGH AS SHOWN


(Ref. Fig. 3-3-2), THE CT BLADES MUST BE DISCARDED.
(1) Burned areas on vanes increase flow area which accelerates downstream
component deterioration, deceases Ng and increases T5.

(a) Cracks (Ref. Fig. 3-3-3) are repairable. Keep the engine in service and monitor
deterioration progression. Do an HSI before defects progress tosuch an extent

the subsequent HSI. Inspect CT vane ring having the defects shown within 100
hours. Subsequent inspection must not exceed 400 hours.

(b) If defects have progressed beyond repair limits shown, engine may remain in
service, providing a ground power check (Ref. Aircraft Maintenance Manual) is
done, and the airfoil trailing edge damage does not exceed limits shown
(Ref. Fig. 3-3-2). An HSI is recommended if the vane trailing edge defects are
beyond the limits shown or downstream components are affected by the CT
vane distress or engine performance is unacceptable.

NOTE: Refer to Para. 10. for additional recommendations.

14. CT BLADES

A. While performing compression turbine blade inspection, operators might notice surface
anomalies that could be mistaken for sulphidation. In fact, these surface anomalies are
a result of the blade manufacturing process and do not affect turbine performance.
The following points of inspection will help operators determine if the blades are
serviceable:

v No loss of coating.
v No change in color.
v No evidence of sulphidation on adjacent blades.
v Geometrical deviations do not exceed 0.005 inches deep or 0.005 inches high. There
is no width limitation (Ref. Fig. 3-3-4).

B. The condition of airfoils and tips is critical to obtain rated power. Most significant blade
tip defects (rubs and oxidation) increase T5. Even if T5 is below maximum, an HSI may
be recommended for economic reasons if distress is beyond the limits shown (Ref.
Fig. 3-3-5). Defects shown are acceptable, providing their condition is monitored by
further inspections and engine ground power checks. Subsequent inspection intervals
must not exceed 400 hours. Cracks 0.050 in. long in the upper 1/3 of the trailing
edge are acceptable providing the complete set of blades is removed within 100 hours
and inspected in accordance with overhaul manual criteria. If defects are beyond those
shown (Ref. Fig. 3-3-6), an HSI is recommended.

NOTE: Refer to Para. 10., sSteps (c) and (d), for additional HSI recommendations.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MANUAL PART NO. 3015442

C. Procedure

(1) Check blades for axial shift. Normally, with components within assembly tolerances,
the blade platforms are approximately in line. When a blade shifts, the blade moves
axially and can be seen as having moved in relation to the adjacent platform.

NOTE: 1. Checking, with a borescope, the CT blade TE platforms mismatch for


each blade is quite difficult. The recommended method is to look at the
leading edge (LE) mismatch while rotating the CT disk. When a mismatch
is observed (one of the airfoils LE is shifted), check blade trailing edge
platform. Maximum shift is 0.020 inch.

NOTE: 2. The amount of blade shift may be estimated by using a 0.020 in. thick
wire The free end should be positioned within the field of view of the
borescope. When estimating the amount of shift, position the free end of
the wire adjacent to the platform being checked.

(2) If blade shift in excess of the limit is observed, an HSI is recommended.

15. CT SHROUD SEGMENTS

A. Heavy rubbing and oxidation are acceptable, providing T5 is within limits. Operating the
engine with areas burnt on the shroud segments may cause damage to the CT shroud
housing (cracking and burning of the attachment rim), and an HSI is recommended
for economic reasons. A damaged shroud housing must be replaced at the next HSI or
refurbishment.

NOTE: Refer to Para. 10., Steps (c) and (d), for additional HSI recommendations.

16. POWER TURBINE (PT) VANE RING

A. Procedure

(1) Damage on the airfoils may produce an increase in flow area which will increase
Ng and T5.

NOTE: Inspection of the PT stator and/or blades is recommended when upstream


component damage does not explain performance loss or when secondary
damage is suspected.

(a) Cracks on the inner and outer rings and airfoils are repairable. Keeping the
engine in service, these defects will progress until the PT vane ring becomes
unrepairable. This will increase the cost of the subsequent HSI. Inspect the
damaged area within 100 hours. Subsequent inspection intervals must not
exceed 400 hours.

(b) An HSI is recommended when the defects are still repairable.

Page 3-3-21
Dec 02/2005
PRATT & WHITNEY CANADA
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MANUAL PART NO. 3015442

(c) If the defects are not repairable, replace PT vane ring at the next power
section repair. Providing Ng and T5 are within limits, there is no need for power
section repair and PT stator change, regardless of the amount of damage,
unless structural integrity of the airfoils is affected (e.g. wide open cracks,
excessive foreign object damage (FOD) and missing or burnt material are
unacceptable).

17. PT BLADES

A. Increased tip clearance of PT stator blades increases T5. If T5 is within limits, there is
no need to change the PT stator assembly, regardless of the amount of the damage,
providing the structural integrity of the components is not affected. Cracks, missing
material, excessive FOD, heavy sulphidation or blade distortion are unacceptable.

HOT SECTION INSPECTION

18. GENERAL

A. Procedure

(1) Hot section inspection is normally carried out under one of two sets of circumstances:

(a) Operators using Trend Monitoring, H.S.I. will be preformed when dictated by
performance deterioration, in which case pre-inspection performance will be
known and post-inspection improvement duly recorded. When performance has
deteriorated sufficiently to warrant an H.S.I., some rework to the hot section
may be expected.

(b) When H.S.I. is performed on a time basis, the object will be to avert component
deterioration. Due to the fact that it may be necessary to rework or replace
parts, it is recommended that a performance check be carried out both prior to
and after the inspection, since components replaced during H.S.I. may
affect engine performance.

NOTE: For Hot Section Inspection interval frequency refer to SB1003.

B. General

(1) The scope of the hot section inspection (H.S.I.) is outlined in Table 3-3-2. In order
to accomplish this inspection, proceed as follows:

(a) Remove power section (Ref. Section 2, Removal/Installation)

(b) Remove compressor turbine disk assembly. (Ref. Section 2, Removal/Installation).


Prior to disk removal, check tip clearances (Ref. Para. 25.).

(c) Remove fuel manifold adapter assemblies. (Ref. Section 2, Removal/Installation).

MANUAL PART NO. 3015442

(d) Remove combustion chamber liner. (Ref. Section 2, Removal/Installation).

NOTE: Should it be necessary during H.S.I. to make a more detailed


inspection of engine components listed in Table 3-3-2 which have
not been disassembled (i.e. compressor turbine vane ring assembly
and small and large exit duct), remove these parts as detailed in Part 4,
Section 2, Removal/Installation.

PRATT & WHITNEY CANADA
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
MANUAL PART NO. 3015442

(a) Inspect retaining ring or ring halves for nicks, burrs and surface damage. Light
stoning of damaged surfaces is acceptable.

(b) Check integrity of felt strip inserts (Ref. Fig. 3-3-7) in oil seal retaining ring
halves (Post-SB1381 only). If worn or damaged, retaining ring halves must
be shipped to an approved overhaul facility for felt strip insert replacement.

C. Inspection

(1) Inspect oil seal runner as follows:

(a) Inspect visible area of oil seal runner for nicks, burrs and other surface damage
caused by tooling during removal of seal. No repair is acceptable. Ship power
output section to an approved overhaul facility for replacement of defective
seal runner.

(b) Inspect propeller shaft oil seal contact surface on oil seal runner for evidence
of wear (grooving). If concentrated wear exists, installation of alternate offset
propeller shaft oil seal should be considered. The alternate oil seal contacts seal
runner at a new location (Ref. I.P.C.).

COMBUSTION CHAMBER LINER

20. GENERAL

A. Inspect the combustion chamber liner for cracks, buckling and/or burning. Cracks in the
liner surfaces are usually of a stress-relieving nature and, as such, are not serious in
that the rate of growth decreases as the crack lengthens. Thermal stresses, in effect,
relieve original stress conditions. It is normal to observe a given type of deterioration
repeated from liner in the same engine or engines of the same model. Typical liner distress
consists of buckling and cracking of cooling rings and buckling at the inner wall
adjacent to the dome.

21. ACCEPTABLE CONDITIONS - REPAIR UNNECESSARY

A. Procedure

(1) Acceptable conditions not requiring repair are as follows:

(a) Localized buckling and/or burning of all cooling rings (except louvered type)
accompanied by cracking is acceptable provided the cracks do not extend
into the seam weld. (See Figure 3-3-9).

(b) Cracks in the louvered cooling ring (Ref. Fig. 3-3-10) are acceptable provided
that circumferential cracks in the seam weld (see Figure 3-3-11) do not exceed
0.300 inch in length and are stop-drilled using a 1/16 inch drill.

(c) Straight line cracks between two adjacent cooling holes.

(d) A maximum of seven cracks, each crack not exceeding one inch in length, is
acceptable in the inner liner adjacent to the dome end. (See Figure 3-3-8).

(e) Localized areas that have been heated to an extent as to cause bulging of the
liner dome are considered acceptable (Ref. Fig. 3-3-12), provided there is no
crack and the bulging is not associated with excessive burning, which
would reduce the wall thickness and weaken the structure. The dome bulging
is often associated with cooling ring buckling and reduction of cooling ring gap,
and repair of the gap is necessary (Ref. Repair, Para. 22. A. (a)).

22. ACCEPTABLE CONDITIONS - REPAIR NECESSARY

A. Procedure

(1) Acceptable conditions requiring repair are as follows:

(a) Buckled cooling rings, in which the gap has been eliminated, must be
reworked. Use a suitable bar to restore a uniform gap to dimensions shown in
Figure 3-3-14.

(b) Cracks not exceeding two inches in length must be welded. (Refer to Part 4,
Section 4, Repair).

(c) Circumferential cracks adjacent to seam welds must be repaired by welding.


(Refer to Part 4, Section 4, Repair).

NOTE: Crack openings in excess of 0.030 inch are not repairable.

(d) Cracks progressing from a free edge so that their meeting is imminent and
could allow a piece of metal to break loose must be repaired by welding.
(Refer to Part 4, Section 4, Repair).

COMPRESSOR TURBINE BLADE TIP CLEARANCE

25. GENERAL

A. Measure and record the turbine tip clearance at several locations. Average tip clearance
should be between 0.011 and 0.018 inch (REF. NO. 318, Fits & Clearances). Clearances
should be measured with wire or tapered feeler gages. Make sure that the shroud
assembly is centralized.

NOTE: Tip clearance at any one location should not exceed 0.019 inch or be less than
0.008 inch. However, if clearance exceeds 0.018 inch at one location, continue
segments in service provided performance has been satisfactory and top
average clearance (0.018 inch) is not exceeded.

B. If the tip clearances are below 0.008 inch due to a shroud high spot, a maximum of
three segments may be ground locally over a length not exceeding one inch per
segment. For localized grinding use an air drill (or equivalent) with abrasive wheel A54
IBF (or equivalent). When the total length of all high spots exceeds three inches, they must
be ground using shroud Grinder (PWC30122) (Refer to Part 4, Section 4, Repair).

C. Examine the compressor turbine shroud segments for evidence of metal buildup and
cracks. Limits are shown on Figure 3-3-18.

NOTE: Cracks may not extend beyond coating depth. When after stripping coating,
cracks do not extend into the base metal, blade may be considered serviceable.
Other normal inspection criteria must be applied.

B. Examine compressor turbine airfoil surfaces, particularly concave surface, for loss of
coating, up to 25 percent is permissible, and/or corrosion using 10-power magnification.
Assess stage of deterioration and accept or reject bladed disk as follows:
Stage 1 - Initial Coating Deterioration (Sulfidation)

C. Evidenced by slight color change of part of coating area. May be rust colored or dark
gray. If coating has deteriorated but is probably still intact, blades are considered
acceptable for further service.
Stage 2 - Initial Corrosion

D. Evidenced by apparent rise of sulfidated coating over surrounding surface, with small,
scattered blisters appearing in coating. Corrosion of base material has started.
Acceptance or rejection of disk is at discretion of operator based on previous experience.
If blades are to remain in service, operators must increase existing desalination
washes and schedule regular borescope inspection of blades every 200 hours.
Stage 3 - Advanced Corrosion

E. Evidenced by clusters of ruptered blisters exposing bare material. Craters so formed


progressively deepen and crater surfaces darken with glazed appearance. Ship disk
assembly to an approved overhaul facility for blade replacement.
Stage 4 - Severe Corrosion

F. Deep penetration with large ruptured blisters exposing large areas of bare metal. Failure
is very likely due to structural loss. Ship disk assembly to an approved overhaul facility
for blade replacement.

COMPRESSOR BLADES (FIRST STAGE)

28. GENERAL

A. If, after troubleshooting, it is necessary to inspect the first stage compressor blades,
inspect them for acceptable or unacceptable blade damage as detailed in Paragraphs
29. and 31. Damage limits to first stage compressor blades are based primarily on
structural integrity considerations. In assessing damage, it should be remembered
that continued operation with a large percentage of blades damaged or eroded to
maximum or near maximum acceptable limits may result in decreased compressor and
engine efficiency. Due to restricted areas, and difficulty in accomplishing proper
blending repairs, the damage and erosion limits in Paragraphs 30. to 32., are considered
acceptable without repair.

29. DAMAGE LIMITS - NARROW CHORD (Pre-SB1094 ENGINES)

A. Procedure

(1) Inspect compressor first stage, narrow chord blades for damage as follows: (Ref.
Fig. 3-3-21).

(a) Multiple superficial leading edge nicks, 0.010 inch maximum depth on any
number of blades.

(b) Leading or trailing edge dents 0.030 inch deep by 0.040 inch long. Four dents
per blade on either leading or trailing edge on any number of blades.

NOTE: A dent is considered to be an indentation caused by impact in which


the parent metal has been displaced.

(c) Leading or trailing edge tip curl without presence of tearing. Maximum
allowable deformation 0.050 inch on one edge, six blades only.

(d) Leading or trailing edge nicks 0.020 inch maximum depth. No more than two
nicks on either leading or trailing edge, on any number of blades.

NOTE: A nick is considered to be a sharp surface indentation caused by


impact, resulting in parent metal loss. No cracks permitted.

(b) Leading or trailing edge dents 0.100 inch deep by 0.100 inch long. Two dents
per blade on either leading or trailing edge on any number of blades.

NOTE: A dent is considered to be an indentation caused by impact in which


the parent metal has been displaced.

(c) Leading or trailing edge tip curl without presence of tearing. Maximum
allowable deformation 0.150 inch on one edge, four blades only.

(d) Leading or trailing edge nicks 0.100 in. max. depth. Two dents maximum per
blade on leading or trailing edge on any number of blades.

NOTE: A nick is considered a sharp surface indentation caused by impact,


resulting in parent metal loss. No cracks permitted.

32. EROSION LIMITS - WIDE CHORD (Post-SB1094 AND ALL PT6A-20A ENGINES)

A. Inspect compressor first stage, wide chord blades for leading edge erosion (Ref. Fig.
3-3-24). Eroded blades are considered acceptable without repair, provided maximum
erosion from leading edge to apex of eroded area does not exceed 0.400 inch.

NOTE: If damage to the first stage compressor blades is acceptable and, following
blending, engine performance remains within acceptable limits, inspection of
the subsequent compressor rotors and stators is not required. Under these
conditions, the engine is considered acceptable for service.

COMPRESSOR TURBINE VANES

33. INSPECTION

A. Procedure

(1) If any of the vanes exhibit evidence of impact damage, remove inner and outer exit
duct assemblies and inspect the 14 blind rivets (if fitted) in gas generator case for
security and condition (Ref. Fig. 3-3-25). Acceptable conditions without repair are as
follows:

(a) Four adjacent rivet or rivet heads are missing.

(b) Six rivets or rivet heads are missing from total of 14.

(c) A total of eight loose rivets is permissible provided no rivets are missing.

(d) A total of six missing and two loose rivets is maximum acceptable condition.

NOTE: A gap of 0.005 inch (maximum) is acceptable between the rivet head
and the sheet surface as shown on Figure 3-3-25, Detail A, provided
that at least 40% of the rivet head circumference is in contact with
the sheet surface. Should any of the above limiting conditions be
exceeded, new rivets must be installed in accordance with the
instructions contained in Part 4, Section 4, Repair.

TURBINE INLET T4 THERMOCOUPLE HARNESS

34. GENERAL

A. Since the harness is a single integral unit consisting of 24 thermocouples averaged by


means of a bus-bar, the probes cannot be checked separately. The following method of
checking will therefore only uncover circuit malfunctions such as an integral short
circuit, and an open circuit in the harness lead.

35. FUNCTIONAL CHECK

A. Procedure

(1) Check the harness at major inspection or when troubleshooting as follows:

(a) Using Turbine Temperature Indicating System Test Set (Barfield TT1000A) or
equivalent, check resistance of internal harness at terminal block. When
measured from each of chromel and alumel posts of terminal block to gas
generator case, the minimum acceptable resistance is 25,000 ohms.

(b) Check the continuity and loop resistance, measured across the chromel and
alumel posts of the terminal block, using a Barfield TT1000A (or equivalent).
Acceptable loop resistance is 1.26 to 1.54 ohms.

(c) Check the resistance of the harness extension (if fitted) using a Barfield
TT1000A or equivalent. When measured from Pin A to Pin B of the connector to
the metal overbraid, resistance must not be less than 25,000 ohms.

NOTE: If several probes are damaged or broken internally, the loop resistance
would not necessarily fall outside the allowable tolerance. Erroneous
temperature indication could occur because of the resultant
unbalance in the harness circuit.

B. Checking

(1) Check suspected probes as follows:

NOTE: This check requires removal of power section and T4 harness (Refer to
Section 2, preceding).

(a) Attach Barfield TT1000A or equivalent to the harness terminal block chromel
and alumel posts.

(b) Heat each probe separately using a soldering iron.

(c) Observe for a positive deflection of uniform polarity on the test set (or on the
cockpit gage) from each probe. The harness should be replaced if it is found
that:

1 Any probe exhibits reversed polarity.

2 Four or more probes are otherwise defective.

T5 THERMOCOUPLE HARNESS, PROBES AND BUS-BAR (PT6A-6/C20, -20, -20A AND -20B
ENGINES)

36. GENERAL

A. The installed T5 temperature sensing system may be considered as a single unit. On


Pre-SB1073 PT6A-6/C20, -20 and -20B engines, the assembly comprises a number of
thermocouple probes (SB1212, ten probes; Post-SBPost-SB1212, eight probes) and a
wiring harness incorporating an integral terminal block. On Post-SB1073 and PT6A-20A
engines, the assembly comprises a number of thermocouple probes (Pre-SB1212, ten
probes; Post-SB1212, eight probes), a chromel and alumel bus-bar assembly and a
wiring harness incorporating an integral terminal block. The assembly cannot be checked
individually from the exterior. The following method of checking will only reveal circuit
malfunctions.

B. To carry out inspection and functional checks use Turbine Temperature Indicating
System Test Set, Model TT1000A. The inspection and heat response check of probes will
be accomplished with power section removed. (Refer to Section 2, preceding.)

37. INSPECTION

A. Procedure

(1) Check harness, bus-bar and probes for general condition as follows:

(a) With power section removed, inspect harness lead terminals and terminal block
for attachment and signs of damage. Block and terminals may be repaired as
detailed in Part 4, Section 4, Repair.

(b) Post-SB1073: Inspect bus-bar terminal straps for damage (Refer to Part 4,
Section 4, Repair).

(c) Inspect individual probes in the following manner:

1 Check terminal bar of probes for attachment. Reject probe if bar is loose.

2 Disconnect either chromel or alumel terminal from probe using 9⁄32 inch
open-end spanner and an Allen wrench (9⁄64 inch wrench for alumel or 7⁄64
inch wrench for chromel). Isolate strap from terminal bar.

3 Using test set, measure resistance across probe terminals. If resistance is


not within 0.24 to 0.46 ohm, replace probe (Refer to Section 2).

4 Measure resistance between open terminal and stator housing. If


resistance is less than 50,000 ohms, replace probe (Refer to Section 2).

5 Connect bus-bar strap (or harness lead) to probe. Torque screw (Ref.
No. 596, Fits & Clearances) and lockwire (MS9226-02).

(d) Carry out heat response check of each probe (Ref. Par. 38.).

(2) Bus-bar inspection:

(a) Bus-bar insulation resistance must not be less than 5000 ohms.

(b) Check bus-bar for breaks, kinks, damage or loose bracket.

(c) Return defective bus-bar for possible repair to the following P&WC facility:

38. FUNCTIONAL CHECK

A. Procedure

(1) Check T5 temperature sensing system at major inspection and troubleshooting as


follows:

(a) Insulation Resistance Check: Disconnect all leads from terminal block on gas
generator case. Connect leads of test set to each terminal on block, in turn,
and ground (Flange C), and measure harness insulation resistance. As measured
from either chromel or alumel terminal to ground, resistance must not be less
than 5000 ohms.

(b) Continuity and Loop Resistance Check: Using test set, measure resistance
across terminals of terminal block. Resistance must be 0.58 to 0.74 ohms for
Post-SB1073, or 0.3 to 0.5 ohms for Pre-SB1073. If several probes are broken or
damaged, the loop resistance may not necessarily fall out of the acceptable
tolerance. However, erroneous temperature indications could occur due to
resultant unbalance in the harness and bus-bar circuit.

(c) If thermocouple leads fail continuity or resistance test, or are found shorted,
proceed as follows:

1 Heat T5 terminal block for five minutes using heat gun having maximum
heat range of 538°C (1000°F).

2 Let terminal block cool to room temperature.

3 Repeat test in Step (1)(b).

4 If problem persists, repeat Steps (1)(b) and (a).

(d) Probe Heat Response Check: With power section removed, apply heat source,
such as 100-watt soldering iron (to heat probes to 94°C (200°F), but not
exceeding 540°C (1000°F)) to each probe and check for positive temperature
deflection. After checking one probe allow heated probe to cool to room
temperature before proceeding with next probe.

NOTE: When polarity of one of the T5 probes is reversed in a T5 sensing


system, the EMF of reversed polarity cancels out a portion of the total
T5 signal. The amount of reduction depends on the total source
impedances of the probes of each polarity. One probe with reversed
polarity may produce a temperature change of 55.6°C (100°F).
Therefore, when performing a heat response check on a probe, confirm
that output signal is of same polarity with that of the other probes.

(c) When a small amount of visible metallic contaminant is evident, proceed as


follows:

NOTE: In determining filter metal contamination, (Ref. Part 2, Section 4,


Standard Practices, Paragraphs 19, 20 and 21) consideration must be
given to particle/flake size, shape and engine operating history. A
particle is a piece of metal with finite thickness large enough in area
to become entrapped on the main oil filter surface. A flake is a metal
chip having immeasurable thickness but large enough to become
also entrapped on the main oil filter surface. The following should be
used as a guide and not as a specification of engine serviceability.
Examples of possible contaminants are:
Small flakes of non-ferrous metal normally originate from plain
bearings or bushings of babbit, tin, bronze or silver.
Small flakes of ferrous metal normally originate from spalled
anti-friction bearings, gear teeth or fretting.
Slivers of steel normally originate from interference between steel
parts or from heavy scoring.

Fuzz or powdered material is cast iron and originates from the


propeller shaft oil transfer sleeve.It can be assumed that less than 40
small particles of miscellaneous metal, largely non ferrous, can be
discounted. In such cases the filter element should be cleaned and
reinstalled. It must also be considered that new engines, or engines
immediately after extensive shop work, may produce metal
contamination at the oil filter. In such cases normal precautions apply.

(d) If Silver Plating Flakes are found, proceed as follows:

1 If the main oil filter contains a large quantity (15 or more) of silver flakes,
the engine oil system must be flushed (Ref. Part 2, Section 1).

2 If silver flakes greater than 0.080 inch are found in the main oil filter, the
AGB internal scavenge pump screen must be cleaned (Ref. Part 4,
Section 2). The engine oil system must be flushed (Ref. Part 2, Section 1).

3 In both cases after performing the above, the engine may be returned to
service and the oil filter reinspected at the next scheduled inspection (Ref.
Part 3, Table 3-3-1).

(e) White Metal

1 On first discovery, clean oil filter (Ref. Part 2, Section 3, Cleaning) and
recheck after 10 hours.

2 On second discovery of similar amount of metal, clean oil filter, drain and
change engine oil and recheck after 10 hours.

3 On third inspection, if the same amount of white metal continues to be


generated, the engine should be shipped to an overhaul facility for
inspection.

(f) Bronze or Steel

1 On first discovery, if there are less than 40 pieces of steel or bronze, clean
filter (Ref. Part 2, Section 3, Cleaning) and recheck after 5 to 10 hours.

2 On first discovery, if there are more than 40 pieces of steel or bronze, clean
filter, drain and change engine oil. Perform ground run for one hour and
recheck.

a If on recheck after one hour ground run, a greater quantity of steel or


bronze is found, the engine should be shipped to an overhaul facility
for inspection.

b If on recheck after one hour ground run, a smaller quantity of metal is


present, clean filter and recheck after five to 10 hours.

c If recheck after 5 to 10 hours reveals presence of similar quantity of

CHIP DETECTOR

46. GENERAL

A. Procedure

CAUTION: IN INSTANCES OF ENGINE-GENERATED METAL CONTAMINATION THE


POSSIBILITY OF RESIDUAL MATTER REMAINING IN PROPELLER AND
AIRFRAME OIL SYSTEMS COULD CONTRIBUTE TO CONTAMINATION
OF NEWLY INSTALLED ENGINE. WHEN AN ENGINE IS REMOVED DUE
TO METAL CONTAMINATION OF THE OIL SYSTEM, ALL AIRFRAME
COMPONENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ENGINE OIL SYSTEM -
INCLUDING PROPELLER, PROPELLER GOVERNORS (WHEN
AIRFRAME SUPPLIED), TUBES AND HOSES - SHOULD BE FLUSHED
ACCORDING TO AIRFRAME MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.
AIRFRAME OIL COOLERS SHOULD BE REPLACED. ENGINE-SUPPLIED
OIL-TO-FUEL HEATERS AND GOVERNORS SHOULD BE RETURNED
WITH THE ENGINE.
(1) Any foreign material found on the chip detector or in the main oil filter should be
identified before further inspection/operation (Ref. Part 2, Standard Practices).
Inspect reduction gearbox chip detector, which has indicated electrical continuity as
follows:

(a) Remove chip detector from reduction gearbox.

NOTE: Whenever the chip detector is removed for inspection, the oil filter
should also be inspected as indicated in Paragraph 45.

(b) If only a single chain of magnetic particles bridge the gap across the poles of
the chip detector and the particles consist of small slivers, clean and reinstall
detector.

NOTE: Clean poles of chip detector by wiping with lint-free cloth; discard cloth
after cleaning.

(c) If more than 10 pieces of small, nugget shaped magnetic material are evident
the engine should be shipped to an overhaul facility for inspection.

NOTE: The chip detector can be easily overtightened. Use of a torque wrench
is recommended to avoid overtightening and possible fracture of chip
detector body.

(d) When a small amount of fuzz, made up of powdered material, is evident, clean
detector, reinstall and recheck for continuity after 10 hours.

(e) When powdered fuzz is evident a second time, but the quantity has not
increased, clean detector, reinstall and recheck for continuity after a further 10
hours.

(f) When powdered fuzz is found a third time in similar or greater quantities the
engine should be shipped to an overhaul facility for inspection.

B. Inspection

(1) Perform detailed inspection of chip detector as follows:

(a) Examine threads for damage. Chase threads as necessary. Replace chip
detector if threads are damaged or crossed.

(b) Examine lacquer witness stripes on detector housing/connector body (P/N


3019373 only). Misaligned stripes are an indication that rotation between
the two parts of the detector has taken place with the possibility of short circuit
between the two poles of the detector and therefore give rise to false
indication. In this condition, reject chip detector.

NOTE: Chip detector P/N 3029199 change letter B and subsequent


incorporates a splined locking arrangement that prevents
movement; therefore it does not require witness stripe identification.

(c) Connect an ohmmeter across detector output terminals and place a suitable
steel bar (keep) across the detector poles. Circuit continuity must exist.

(d) Check security of output terminal pins and condition of potting compound. If
pins are loose or compound is cracked reject detector.

(e) Connect an ohmmeter between shell of detector and each connector pin, in
turn. Insulation resistance must be not less than 5000 ohms.

CAUTION: DO NOT REMOVE FUEL PUMP COUPLING, REMOVAL MAY CAUSE


CHIPPING OF SPLINES AND/OR LOSS OF CIRCLIP RETENTION.
CIRCLIP ALLOWS VERY LIMITED MOVEMENT OF PUMP
COUPLING.
(c) If reddish-brown (iron-oxide) stain is evident, remove fuel pump (Ref. Section
2) as precautionary measure and proceed as follows:

1 Examine input coupling side area of pump face (See Fig. 3-3-30) for
residue from fretting corrosion (iron-oxide deposit). If none present pump
may remain in service.

2 Evidence of corrosion residue indicates excessive spline wear. Ship fuel


pump to approved overhaul facility.

3 Install original or replacement fuel pump as applicable (Ref. Section 2).

(d) Check for leakage from seal drain port as follows:

1 Coupling drive oil leaks from fuel pump drain should not exceed 3 cc per

NOTE: 2. If oil pressure fluctuates or drops below the nominal value (i.e., 85
psi), reduce the engine power from the maximum of 1315 lb.ft.
torque. The engine may be kept running provided that the oil pressure
does not fall lower than 40 psig; however, the torque indicating
system will be unreliable at this low pressure (min. time running is
permitted to allow flight crew to follow emergency procedure).

NOTE: 3. The PT blades may rub, immediately after engine shutdown which is
not an indication of distress, providing the rubbing disappears when
the engine cools down.

(d) Turn the compressor rotor. Listen for unusual noises coming from bearings,
seals, gears, compressor and/or CT.

(e) If unusual noises are heard, overhaul gas generator for Light Overhaul,
Unusual Oil Conditions.

(f) Remove main oil filter, strainer and chip detector and inspect for metallic
debris. If metallic debris is found, refer to Part 2, Section 7, Troubleshooting. If no
metallic debris is found, reinstall oil filter, strainer and chip detector. Then run
engine at 80% torque for 10 minutes; re check RGB chip detector, oil strainer and
main oil filter. Return engine to service if no metallic debris is found. Check
RGB chip detector daily for one week (approx. 65 hours). Return to standard
inspection intervals if no chip indications occur. If chip detector circuit is
completed or metallic debris is found, refer to Part 2, Section 7, Troubleshooting.

(c) Slow or stiff propeller rotation. Overhaul power section for Light Overhaul.
Indicate Audible Rubbing.

T. Propeller Windmilling after In-flight Shutdown

(1) With stabilized windmilling Np less than or equal to 20 rpm.

(a) If less than six quarts of oil are required to bring oil level up to MAX on
dipstick, no further action is necessary

(b) If six quarts of oil or more are required to bring oil level up to MAX on dipstick,
refer to Loss of Oil/Oil Pressure.

(2) With an unknown (not recorded) Np or stabilized windmilling Np greater than 20


rpm and related to engine failure (serviceable engine).

(a) Refer to Loss of Oil/Oil Pressure.

(3) With in-flight shutdown attributed to a confirmed engine problem, send engine to an
approved overhaul facility. Indicate reason for removal.

U. Starter-Generator Replacement

(1) If the starter-generator is replaced in order to rectify a reported engine starting or


electrical generation defect, that is suspected as an electrical fault or bearing
distress of the starter-generator, inspect the main oil filter as follows:

52. BORESCOPE

A. General

The borescope is an optical device which enables an operator to perform visual


inspection of hot section areas of PT6A series engines. Access is through ports or
openings created by removal of engine components. Personnel performing borescope
inspection must be fully qualified to do this check and analyze results.

B. Description

(1) The borescope assembly comprises a pattern-controlled rigid Guide Tube


(PWC34910-200), a direct viewing flexible 5 mm fiberscope (PWC34910-100), a light
source, a side viewing adapter and other accessories. A still or video camera
may be used to record engine areas.

(2) Using the borescope, without removal of the engine power section, an operator can
inspect the following:

(a) Compressor turbine blades and shroud segments.

(b) Leading and trailing edges of compressor turbine stator assembly.

(c) Inner and outer vane rings of the compressor turbine stator assembly.

(d) Cooling rings and dome section of the combustion chamber liner.

NOTE: Before using the borescope, study the following procedures, the
borescope assembly and its accessories (Ref. Fig. 3-3-31). it is
considered vulnerable to severe shocks, twisting and pinching. Care
and attention must therefore be used when handling it to prolong
service life.
