ON CONDITION MAINTENANCE
CFM56 engines use a maintenance concept called On
Condition Maintenance. This means that engines have
no periodic overhaul schedules and can remain installed
under the wing until something important occurs, or when
lifetime limits of parts are reached.
For this reason, to monitor and maintain the health of an
engine, different tools are available.
Engine performance trend monitoring.
To evaluate engine deterioration over a period of time,
certain engine parameters, such as gas temperature,
are recorded and compared to those initially observed
at engine installation on the aircraft. Any abnormalities
can be immediately identified and further investigation
initiated.
For troubleshooting, record and report the following
engine and aircraft data as soon as engine and records
are available for initial inspection.
- Hours since engine last used.
- Flight data prior to, during, and after the event.
- Hours since last shop visit.
- Service Bulletin compliance.
- Pilots report of the event.
- Condition of engine inlet.
EFFECTIVITY
ALL CFM56 ENGINES

CFMI PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

TOC

- Any obvious incidents that may have contributed to,


or immediately preceded, an event.
Lubrication particles analysis.
Lubrication oil circulating in the engine is filtered, and
large, visible-to-the-eye particles (larger than 10 microns)
are collected in filters and magnetic chip detectors, for
visual inspection. Analysis of these particles, that usually
indicate worn or broken engine parts, may show that the
internal parts of the engine have to be inspected in detail.
Engine vibration monitoring system.
Sensors located in various positions in the engine, send
vibration values to the on-board monitoring system. When
vibration values are excessive, the data recorded can be
used to take remedial balancing action.
Borescope inspection.
To visually check the condition of engine internal parts
that are not easily accessible, borescope probes can be
inserted through various ports that are located on the
engine outer casing.

SCHEDULED / UNSCHEDULED INSPECTION


These are the 2 basic types of borescope inspections.
- Scheduled inspection
- Unscheduled inspection
Scheduled
The purpose of the scheduled inspection is to inspect
for defects inside the engine at regular time intervals,
depending on :
- the Maintenance Review Board (MRB)
- the Maintenance Planning Document (MPD).
A scheduled inspection is performed on specific areas of
the engine to assess its condition.
If no defects are found, the engine is serviceable.
If defects are found, refer to the AMM to find out if the
engine is serviceable, with or without cycle limitations.

Unscheduled
The purpose of the unscheduled inspection is to find
defects inside the engine at abnormal time intervals, or
after an engine event, such as FOD, hot start, overspeed,
vibration, etc...
If an engine experiences such a problem, it may have to
be inspected to ascertain internal defects.
During an unscheduled inspection, all areas of the engine
may be inspected.
As a supplement refer to the NDTM. The AMM, engine
section, special inspection, will list the engine events and
which inspection ports must be used by the inspector.

As a supplement, refer to the Non Destructive Test


Manual (NDTM). In the On Condition paragraph of each
engine section, there is a list of possible defects.

(ALL) :
After entering the air inlet cowl, the total engine airflow
passes through fan rotor blades, which form stage 1 of
the low pressure compressor (LPC).
Most of the airflow (secondary), is ducted overboard
through Outlet Guide Vanes (OGVs). The remaining
airflow (primary), is directed through a booster, where it
is pressurized.
(-5B, -5C) :
The booster has 4 stages: stage 2 to stage 5.
(-2, -3, -5A, -7B) :
The booster has 3 stages: stage 2 to stage 4.

BORESCOPE ACCESS LIMITATIONS


(ALL) :
There are two limitation factors that have to be
considered when preparing for borescope inspection on
CFM56 engines.
These considerations are :
- the size of the borescope probe to be inserted into
the engine.
- the temperatures of the engine parts at each
inspection port.
The purpose of having probe size and temperature
limitations is to prevent damage to the borescope
equipment.
Without size limitations a probe could be lodged, or
seized in a borescope port during installation, or removal.
The use of temperature limitations prevents melting, or
heat distortion, of a borescope probe, if it is inserted
into a hot engine. Without these limitations there can be
subsequent deformation of borescope probes, excessive
replacement/repair costs of equipment, and even Foreign
Object Damage (FOD) to the engine itself.

Borescope equipment temperature limitations.
It is not recommended that borescope inspection be
accomplished at temperatures above 130F (54C).
WARNING: HIGH TEMPERATURES MAY CAUSE
SERIOUS BURNS TO PERSONNEL AND DAMAGE TO
THE FIBER OPTIC EQUIPMENT.

To speed up the engine cool down time after shutdown,


the engine starter may be used to dry motor the engine,
(Refer to the AMM).
This sufficiently reduces the hot section area temperature
to allow inspection. But as the temperature will rise
again due to engine temperature soak-back, it is further
recommended that engine hot section inspection be
accomplished within 20 minutes, or before the internal
engine temperature reaches 130F (54C).
CAUTION: REFER TO AIRPLANE OPERATION

There are no definitive measurement devices for the
borescope.
Evaluating inconsistencies is not an easy task because
all measurements by borescope are comparative.
The inspector can make a comparison with some known

Words such as nicks, dents and scratches, for example,
are often used in the AMM.

The records and maps will remain in the engine folder


until the damaged parts are repaired, or replaced.

The NDTM (Non Destructive Test Manual) provides a


comprehensive list and an explanation of these words in
its Introduction section.

Note : When defect/damage maps are used, accomplish


the mapping at the inspection site. Do not rely on memory
of the defect in order to carry out the mapping in an office
after the inspection.

It also provides sample forms on which to record the


defects encountered, which include record forms and
maps for each rotor stage.
Recording of defects.
It is highly recommended that a record be maintained for
each borescope inspection conducted.
The maps are provided so that any damage within
serviceable limits can be recorded pictorially by blade
number and position on the blade.

Photo recording.
Whenever photos are made of a defect, a record of the
photo should be made immediately.
If the photo is not recorded relative to the engine
serial number, stage, port, direction of view and date,
correlation of the hardware damage and the photo will be
extremely difficult.
Refer to the NDTM for more information.

Propagation of the damage can then be pictorially


illustrated during subsequent inspections. The rotor blade
maps are oriented about the zero reference for inspection
continuity.

(ALL) :
The borescope resolution monitor.
Before starting any inspection inside the engine, the
inspector should ensure that the viewing definition of
the rigid and flexible borescope probes is as precise as
possible.
Borescope resolution monitor 856A1323 allows both rigid
and flexible probes to be checked against a calibrated
display.
The male end of the light bundle is inserted into a light
source and the female end is connected to the male
connector on the resolution monitor.
The rigid or flexible probe is inserted and hand-tightened
into a clamping device located on the arm on the
resolution monitor. The probes lens faces a resolution
target.
The light intensity is adjusted to obtain the best view
and the borescope probe is aligned to ensure that the
resolution target is centered in the field of view.
If only part of the target is illuminated, then the borescope
probe is not serviceable for engine inspection.
