72-21-00-290-003-A - Borescope Inspection of the Booster Rotor Blades,
Stages 2, 3, 4 and 5 through the Booster Inlet and Borescope Ports SO3 and
SO5
SUBTASK 72-21-00-290-053-A
A. Borescope Inspection Methods
(1) Inspection of booster rotor blades through the borescope ports SO3 and SO5 and booster inlet.
(a) There are 2 borescope ports (SO3 and SO5) located (approximately) at the 3.30 o'clock
position at the periphery of the booster section and almost radially in line with the stages 3
and 4 of the booster stator. Through these ports, you can see the leading and trailing
edges of the booster stage 3, 4 and 5 rotor blades. Through the booster inlet, you can get
a borescope view of the booster rotor blades, stage 2.
(b) To do the inspection of the booster stage 2, 3, 4 and 5 rotor blades:
1 Use BORESCOPE-KIT (856A1320) (856A1320P04/P05) (field of view 60 deg.,
angle of vision 90 deg.) with a long right-angle extension.
2 Use BORESCOPE-LIGHT SOURCE SET (856A1322) (856A1322P02/P03/P04/P07
/P08).
NOTE: It is necessary to index and turn the fan rotor. You can turn the fan and
booster rotor assembly by hand from the engine inlet.
SUBTASK 72-21-00-480-060-A
B. Installation of the borescope.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THE INPUT VOLTAGE OF THE BORESCOPE LIGHT SOURCE
SET CORRESPONDS TO THAT OF THE POWER SUPPLY.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT :
THE ON-OFF SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION.
THE LIGHT INTENSITY CONTROL IS SET TO THE MINIMUM BEFORE YOU
CONNECT THE BOROSCOPE LIGHT-SOURCE SET TO THE POWER SUPPLY.
MAKE SURE THAT THE LIGHT SOURCE AND THE POWER SUPPLY ARE
CORRECTLY GROUNDED.
(1) Connect the BORESCOPE-LIGHT SOURCE SET (856A1322) (856A1322P02/P03/P04/P07
/P08) to a grounded power supply.
(a) Connect the fiber light cable to the BORESCOPE-KIT (856A1320) (856A1320P04/P05)
and to the port on the BORESCOPE-LIGHT SOURCE SET (856A1322) (856A1322P02
/P03/P04/P07/P08).
(b) Turn the light source on. Engage the borescope and the long right-angle extension, and
set it as necessary for inspection.
SUBTASK 72-21-00-290-054-A
WARNING: BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU TURN THE FAN ROTOR MANUALLY. USE HEAVY
PROTECTIVE GLOVES AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU CANNOT SLIP. IF YOU DO NOT
OBEY THESE INSTRUCTIONS, INJURY CAN OCCUR.
C. Borescope Inspection of the booster blades.
NOTE: Any amount of erosion/flaking of abradable lining material on the outer shroud is permitted on
booster vane stages 3,4 & 5.

NOTE: On booster vane stage 5 visible airfoils: any amount of surface oxidation, pitting or corrosion
marks is permitted; missing material is not allowed; cracks are not allowed (The visible area
of the stage 5 Booster Vanes is limited to what you can see through the borescope port).
(1) Do an borescope inspection of the booster blades while you turn the fan rotor clockwise (aft
looking forward) to complete the procedure.
