SCHEDULED / UNSCHEDULED INSPECTION
These are the 2 basic types of borescope inspections. Unscheduled

- Scheduled inspection
- Unscheduled inspection The purpose of the unscheduled inspection is to nd
defects inside the engine at abnormal time intervals, or
Scheduled after an engine event, such as FOD, hot start, overspeed,
vibration, etc...
The purpose of the scheduled inspection is to inspect
for defects inside the engine at regular time intervals, If an engine experiences such a problem, it may have to
depending on : be inspected to ascertain internal defects.
- the Maintenance Review Board (MRB)
- the Maintenance Planning Document (MPD). During an unscheduled inspection, all areas of the engine
may be inspected.
A scheduled inspection is performed on specic areas of
the engine to assess its condition. As a supplement refer to the NDTM. The AMM, engine
section, special inspection, will list the engine events and
If no defects are found, the engine is serviceable. which inspection ports must be used by the inspector.
If defects are found, refer to the AMM to nd out if the
engine is serviceable, with or without cycle limitations.
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.

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.

internal areas of the engine and each probe is used for a
specic purpose :
- Probe 1 (black) : Magnication, close inspection,

detailed evaluation and conrmation of defects
(cannot be used in every hole due to its diameter).
- Probe 2 (yellow) : General inspection.
- Probe 3 (green) : Fore-oblique angle probe, platform

inspection.

the type of defect.
The aft panel of the inner liner is prone to distortion and
