Over-Serviceable-Limit Extensions [CFMI]
TASK 72-00-00-200-005-A
Over-Serviceable-Limit Extensions
1. Reason for the Job
It can occur that specific defects do not agree with the "Maximum Serviceable Limits", and that the maintenance facilities, at a given location, are not sufficient to do the necessary corrective actions.
In these circumstances, limit extensions will permit to send the engine where correction is possible, or to schedule the necessary maintenance in the extension period.

1. Reason for the Job
It can occur that specific defects do not agree with the "Maximum Serviceable Limits", and that the maintenance facilities, at a given location, are not sufficient to do the necessary corrective actions.
In these circumstances, limit extensions will permit to send the engine where correction is possible, or to schedule the necessary maintenance in the extension period.
NOTE: The limit extensions are one-time extensions only. Applicable hardware action is necessary at the completion of the extended serviceable period.
