1. General
A. This procedure has the two tasks that follow:
(1) The inspection of the fan rotor blades with the blades installed.

the blades removed.
B. All inspection limits in this procedure show the maximum permitted
serviceable limits.

(2) You can repair the damage which is more than the specified limits
if you obey the limits in the procedure (AMM 72-31-02/801) or
replace the component if it is necessary.
(3) Use the inspection procedure for fluorescent penetrant (AMM 70-
40-01/201) to examine possible cracks.
(4) Depth limits are applicable after the removal of the high metal from
the damaged area.
C. Refer to AMM 70-00-01/201 for the technical terms and
abbreviations used in this procedure.
D. It is necessary to remove the fan blade (AMM 72-31-02/401) for a

(3) You must do the Fan Blade Inspection (With Blades Removed) if
you find the conditions that follow:
