NOTE: 1. Inspect HP turbine blades for evidence of blade shi using a 3 mm or


a 4 mm flexible borescope. Blade forward movement in excess of
0.020 inch is reason for removal of the HP turbine for repair (Ref. 72-
50-02).

NOTE: 2. Inspection with a a 5 mm or a 6 mm flexible borescope has proven


extremely difficult and is no longer recommended.

NOTE: 3. Borescope access is achieved by passing the borescope probe


between the blades of the LP turbine assembly. With the borescope
in position, rotation of the HP rotor via the AGB starter generator
drivesha allows all HP turbine blades to be inspected. The extent of
blade shi may be assessed by comparing with the HP turbine blade
serration-to-serration pitch, which is 0.090 inch.
