4. Procedure
Subtask 72-00-00-280-075-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

A. Volcanic Ash, Dust, or Sand Inspection
(1) The following requirements are subsequent to incidents of engines flown or operated in volcanic ash, dust, or sand (reference CFM56-5A SB 72-0817 for operation in meteorological modeling predicted ash cloud areas).
(a) Visually check engine inlet and exhaust areas for evidence of damage or excessive erosion.
(b) Borescope inspect High Pressure Compressor and High Pressure Turbine for evidence of the following (Ref. AMM TASK 72-31-00-290-001), (Ref. AMM TASK 72-42-00-290-003), (Ref. AMM TASK 72-51-00-290-002), (Ref. AMM TASK 72-52-00-290-001) and (Ref. AMM TASK 72-52-00-290-002).

NOTE: Do not water wash engines exposed to volcanic ash.

NOTE: Inspect all stages of the HPC. The aft stages of the HPC will be most effected by erosion.

NOTE: Inspect the HPT nozzle vanes and the HPT blades for erosion and accumulation of solidified material. Sufficient amounts of material accumulation on the HPT nozzle vanes can cause a reduced engine stall margin.

1 Excessive erosion.
2 Foreign object damage (FOD).
3 Build-up of ash, dust, or sand deposits that have solidified on the HPT nozzle vanes and HPT blades.
a If material has solidified on the HPT vanes or blades, contact CFM.
(c) Oil system.
1 Replace scavenge oil filter (Ref. AMM TASK 79-21-10-920-001).
2 Drain oil (Ref. AMM TASK 12-13-79-610-003) and (Ref. AMM TASK 12-13-79-610-004).
3 Replace oil (Ref. AMM TASK 12-13-79-610-001).
(d) Monitor engine operation to determine if a shift in performance parameters has occurred. If parameters are abnormal, TSM 77.
(e) Check for proper cooling of ignition leads.
(f) Check condition of T12 temperature sensor (Ref. AMM TASK 73-21-40-210-001).
(g) Flush accessory and transfer gearboxes (Ref. AMM TASK 12-13-79-610-005).
(h) Check for fouling of LPT case air cooling Scoop and precooler Scoop on Thrust Reverser (T/R).
(2) The following requirements are subsequent to incidents of engines NOT flown or operated in volcanic ash, dust, or sand, but have been exposed to volcanic ash, dust, or sand on the ground.

NOTE: Do not water wash an engine that has been exposed to volcanic ash, dust, or sand. Particles may accumulate in the HPT nozzle vanes and HPT blade cooling paths. Material may accumulate in the HPC rotor spools and cause rotor imbalance.

(a) Inspect the engine inlet and exhaust for accumulation of ash, dust, or sand particles.
1 Vacuum any particles from accessible areas of the inlet and exhaust.
2 Dry motor the engine for two minutes (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-710-001).
3 Borescope the HPC and HPT at the 6 o'clock positions to inspect for ash, dust, or sand (Ref. AMM TASK 72-31-00-290-001), (Ref. AMM TASK 72-42-00-290-003), (Ref. AMM TASK 72-51-00-290-002), (Ref. AMM TASK 72-52-00-290-001) and (Ref. AMM TASK 72-52-00-290-002).
4 If loose material is still present in the engine flow path, dry motor the engine for two more minutes.
5 Repeat the borescope inspection and dry motoring until all material has been removed.
(b) Oil system.
1 Replace scavenge oil filter (Ref. AMM TASK 79-21-10-920-001).
2 Drain oil (Ref. AMM TASK 12-13-79-610-003) and (Ref. AMM TASK 12-13-79-610-004).
3 Replace oil (Ref. AMM TASK 12-13-79-610-001).
(c) Monitor engine operation to determine if a shift in performance parameters has occurred. If parameters are abnormal, (Ref. TSM 77-00-00).
(3) Do an one time repeat borescope inspection at an A-check or 400-800 cycles to ensure HPT nozzle vane and HPT blade integrity.
