ENGINE -- INSPECTION/CHECK
WARNING: FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSPECT AND/OR REPAIR INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS/
PARTS COULD RESULT IN AN ENGINE FAILURE.

1. Inspections

The inspection requirements for the engine have been categorized into Preflight and Postflight Inspec-
tions, Scheduled Inspections and Special Inspections.

NOTE: Inspections may require using a bright light (flashlight or equivalent) and a mirror.

When applicable, review engine records for compliance with all mandatory Bulletins, Inspections and
Airworthiness Directives.

Review Engine Records for Time and/or Cycle Limited Parts. Review Components, Accesso-
ries and Modules Time Between Overhaul.

When local conditions dictate, it is the responsibility of the operator to increase the scope
and/or frequency of checks and/or inspections to assure an adequate level of serviceability
and safety.

Operating and maintenance personnel should be alert to recognize signs of engine abnormal operation
that may be indicative of an impending engine difficulty. Any or all of the following engine abnormali-
ties may be indicative of an impending engine difficulty and should be investigated to determine the
cause and the required corrective action.

NOTE: Cracks in the horizontal and/or vertical fireshield can be indicative of abnormally high
engine vibration.

NOTE: Broken, cracked, or fretted fuel, lube, or air tubes can be indicative of abnormally high engine
vibration.

NOTE: Polishing of tube assemblies in the tube clamping areas can be indicative of abnormally high
engine vibration.

NOTE: N1 rotor coastdown that is more rapid than what is normally experienced can be indicative of
an impending engine difficulty. (Example: Coastdown from idle in 4--5 seconds can be indic-
ative of binding in the N1 rotor system.)

Description of Inspection
Item 1. Engine, General
a. Inspect the entire engine for loose bolts, broken or loose connections, security of mounting
accessory, and broken or missing lockwire. Visually check for the presence and alignment
of slippage marks (torque paint) on all B--nuts. Check accessible area for obvious damage
and evidence of fuel or oil leakage.
b. Check to ascertain that mounting and support bolts are tight, lockwired, and in good condi-
tion. Check security of screws and rivets. Remove all foreign material which might be
drawn into the compressor inlet.

Item 2. Control Linkage

c. Check for freedom of operation and full travel. Check security of linkage. Check for
excessively loose or worn linkage and linkage bolts.
Item 3. Compressor Blades and Vanes
d. Any time the aircraft has been operated in an atmosphere known (or suspected) to be
corrosive, perform a water rinse of the compressor. (Refer to Compressor Salt Water
Contamination Removal, PARA 6.A.(1), 72--30--00.)
e. Inspect for obvious foreign object damage.
Item 4. Gearbox
f. If a warning light is received, inspect and clean the magnetic drain plugs. (Refer to
Magnetic Plug Inspection, PARA 10.G., 72--00--00, Engine--Servicing.)

Item 5. Oil Supply

g. Check engine oil system. On M250--C20R,--C20R(ST) engines and on other M250--C20R

series engines with this customer option installed by M250 CEB 72--4024, check the
impending oil filter bypass indicator.

NOTE: It is possible for the impending oil bypass indicator to extend during a start,
before the oil has warmed, and give an erroneous indication of a dirty oil
filter. If the impending bypass filter indicator is extended, run the engine
until the oil is at operative temperature and push the indicator button in. If
the button remains in throughout the normal speed range of the engine, the
filter does not require cleaning/changing.

h. Check the engine oil quantity within 15 minutes of engine shutdown to avoid a false
indication of excessive oil consumption. If the 15 minutes has been exceeded, motor the
engine for 30 seconds with the starter before checking tank quantity. Motoring normally
scavenges oil from the gearbox back to the aircraft oil tank. Check the airframe flight
manual; some installations can require engine to be operated for at least a minute at
ground idle to assure proper scavenging of the engine gearbox.

NOTE: Always refer to the airframe flight manual for proper oil servicing instructions;
specific requirements can vary for different aircraft models.

Item 6. Fuel Control

i. Check the fuel control by making a deceleration check during shutdown for the last flight of
each day. (Refer to Deceleration Check, PARA 2.D., 73--20--02.)

Item 7. Fuel System, General

j. (M250--C20R, --C20R (ST), --C20R/1, --C20R/1(RS), --C20R/2, --C20R/4) Carefully inspect
the fuel control and governor for evidence of leakage. Also, check condition of fittings and
tubing (e.g. loose, chafed, bent, dented) which can contribute to leakage. If there is no
evidence of leakage, further action is not required. If evidence of fuel leakage is found,
refer to Fuel Leakage Inspection, PARA 2.A., 73--00--00, for required action.

k. (M250--C20R/2(SP)) Check for extension of the impending fuel filter bypass indicator. If the
indicator has extended, replace the fuel filter element, reset the indicator (Refer to
Replacing Filter Element, PARA 1.C., 73--10--05), and inspect and clean the fuel filter in the
fuel control (Refer to Cleaning Fuel Control Fuel Filter, PARA 4.A., 73--20--02).
It is possible for the impending fuel filter bypass indicator to extend during cold weather
operation due to ice formation on the filter element. If this is suspected to have occurred,
reset the indicator. (Refer to Replacing Fuel Filter Element, PARA 1.C., 73--10--05.) Drain
the fuel filter housing and do not replace the filter element. Inspect and clean the fuel filter
in the fuel control. (Refer to Cleaning Fuel Control Fuel filter, PARA 4.A., 73--20--02.)
Ground run the engine to assure proper operation of the control system and recheck the
indicator position.
Inspect the fuel tank and fuel system for water contamination.
NOTE: The use of fuel anti--ice additives (refer to Engine----Description and Operation,
Cold Weather Fuels, PARA 8, 72--00--00) is not required above fuel temperatures
of --30 F(--34C). However, the use of anti--ice additive under all temperature
conditions is recommended to provide additional protection against fuel system
icing and microbiological contamination.
Item 8. Ignition Lead
l. Inspect ignition lead for burning, chafing, or cracking of conduit and for loose connectors.
Inspect for broken lockwire.
Item 9. Start Counter.
m. Inspect for proper operation (increase in count) and for loose, chafed, frayed or broken
wires and loose connectors.
Item 10. Electrical Harness (M250--C20R, --C20R/1, --C20R/1(RS) only)
n. Inspect for loose, chafed, frayed or broken wires and loose connectors.

B. SCHEDULED INSPECTIONS.
Scheduled inspections are made at periodic intervals in an effort to prevent engine malfunction
and serve in the role of preventative maintenance for the engine. The component to be
inspected, the nature of the inspection, and the elapsed time after which the inspection is to be
performed are given in the Inspection Checksheet, Table 602. The inspection times are hours of
engine operation.

If the engine has been submerged in water, proceed as follows:

(a) Contact Rolls--Royce or a Rolls--Royce Authorized Maintenance Center for recom-
mended disposition.
(b) Tag the engine indicating that it encountered submersion in water.
(c) Provide details of submersion event.
(6) Lightning Strike Inspection
Aircraft lightning strikes occur when the airframe can serve as a least--resistance bridge for
the electrical bolt as it travels through the air. Consequently, aircraft extremities (tail pylon,
blades, nose, landing gear, etc.) typically act as points of entry or exit.
However since the exact electrical path through the aircraft can not be readily traceable
following a strike, the following guidelines are recommended:
(a) In the event of a lightning strike in the immediate vicinity of the engine(s) (as
evidenced by charring, burn marks or pitting associated with electrical arcing on the
engine cowl, compartment or inlet) remove the engine(s) prior to further flight and
send them to a Rolls--Royce Authorized Maintenance Center for detailed teardown
and inspection.
(b) Where the aircraft is known or suspected of having been involved in a lightning
strike, and entry/exit points either cannot be determined or appear remote to the
engine(s), perform the following:
1 Inspect the engine compartment for evidence of lightning strike damage.
2 Manually rotate N1 and N2 systems and check for binding and abnormal noise.
3 Remove, inspect, and clean the engine oil filter. (Refer to Oil Filter Replace-
ment, PARA 1.C., Power and Accessory Gearbox -- Maintenance Practices,
72--60--00.)
4 Remove, inspect, and clean the magnetic plugs. (Refer to Magnetic Plug In-
spection, PARA 10.G., Engine--Servicing, 72--00--00.)
5 Operate the engine for 30 minutes on the ground and recheck the magnetic
plugs for metal accumulation. (Refer to PARA 10.G., 72--00--00, Engine--
Servicing.)
a On twin engine aircraft, each engine must be operated individually at 100%
Nr and flat pitch.
b On single engine aircraft, engine must be operated at power required to
make aircraft light on its skids.
6 Listen for abnormal noise on coastdown and abnormally short coastdown time.
(7) Hot Start Inspection
When the engine starting temperature limits of Table 4, 72--00--00, Engine--Description and
Operation are exceeded, and turbine inspection is the recommended maintenance action,
proceed as follows:
(a) Remove the outer combustion case and combustion liner. (Refer to Combustion
Liner Removal, PARA 1.A., 72--40--00.)
(b) Inspect the first--stage nozzle in accordance with Table 201, 72--50--00.
(c) Inspect the first--stage turbine wheels. (Refer to Blade and Vane Inspection, PARA
6.A., 72--50--00.)
(d) Inspect the combustion liner. (Refer to Table 201, 72--40--00.)
(e) Reassemble the engine. (Refer to Combustion Liner Installation, PARA 1.B.,

(8) Erosion Inspection

If the aircraft is frequently subjected to sand or dust ingestion or operated in a corrosive
environment (salt laden or other chemically laden atmosphere such as pesticides, herbicides,
sulfur, industrial pollutants, etc.), inspect compressor blades, vanes, and case plastic coating
for erosion or corrosion damage. Engines operated in a corrosive environment must be
subjected to daily fresh water compressor rinses.
NOTE: If the aircraft is subjected to sand or dust ingestion, periodic compressor erosion
inspection is recommended. The frequency of the inspection must be based on
the degree of ingestion and condition of the compressor at the last inspection.
The need for more frequent compressor rinse can also be indicated.
NOTE: See CSL--4018 for instructions on suggested contamination removal using
water only and for maps of operating areas with salt laden air.
(9) Snow Ingestion Inspection
Inspect the engine for snow, ice, or water damage as follows:
(a) Obtain access to the compressor inlet but do not disassemble any engine parts.
NOTE: Replace the compressor assembly if any mechanical damage, distortion, or
bending is detected on the compressor front support struts or on the impeller.

(10) On Condition Inspection -- Power and Accessory Gearbox

Any time the gearbox housing is separated from the cover, all gears must be magnetic particle
inspected if the log book indicates that more than 3500 hours have elapsed since the gears
were new or last magnafluxed. (Refer to M250--C20R Series Overhaul Manual, Pub. No. GTP
5232--3, for inspection criteria.)

NOTE: Record compliance with this inspection in the appropriate Section of

the log book. Include date and hours.

(11) Compressor Inlet Air Blockage

Replace the compressor assembly if the engine has been operated with inlet air restricted due
to foreign objects or materials which have become lodged in the compressor inlet. Tag the
replaced compressor to indicate the cause of removal was inlet air blockage and send to a
Rolls--Royce Authorized Maintenance Center. Conditions which constitute blockage are as
follows:

(a) Foreign objects or materials found in the inlet during inspection of the aircraft when
not in operation. If it can be determined that the blockage was not there during the
last operation of the engine, remove the foreign object or material and leave the
compressor in service.

(b) Power loss encountered following a restriction at the compressor inlet area while
the engine is in operation. Blockage in flight can usually be verified by the
inspection after landing (blockage still exists). However, some blockage can be
followed by ingestion before inspection can take place. Objects or materials which
were large enough to have stopped at the inlet guide vanes before ingestion, or
which cause a noticeable raise in TOT, can be considered to have caused
compressor inlet blockage.
