4. Procedure
Subtask 72-31-11-420-093-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A. Make a Selection of Which Fan Blade Installation Procedure is Necessary
   (1) If the fan blade(s) to be installed is the original fan blade(s) and is to be replaced in the original fan disk slot position(s) and Moment Weight Difference (MWD) is unchanged, go to Para. 4.F. for individual fan blade(s) or go to Para. 4.G. for a full set of fan blades.
   (2) If the fan blade(s) to be installed is not from the original set installed on the engine, make a selection of fan blade position and balance correction method.
Subtask 72-31-11-420-139-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
B. Make a Selection of Which Balance Correction Procedure is Necessary.
   (1) Get a replacement fan blade with a radial moment weight as near as possible to that of the removed fan blade. Record the moment weight of the replacement fan blades.
   (2) Subtract the radial moment weight of the removed fan blade (A) from the radial moment weight of the replacement fan blade (B).
   (3) Record the MWD, (B-A) together with the sign (+ or -).
   (4) The balance correction is recommended to minimize vibration levels as follows:
NOTE: When one or two fan blades are replaced, select the applicable method for each fan blade. If three or more fan blades are replaced, select balance correction Method 3.
     (a) If the MWD is not more than +/- 50 oz.in., you can correct the balance by Method 1. If you use Method 1, go to Para. 4.C. If you can not use the Method 1, use Method 2, go to Para. 4.D. If you can not use the Method 2, use the Method 3, go to Para. 4.E.
     (b) If the MWD is more than +/- 50 oz.in. and less than +/- 150 oz.in., you can correct the balance by Method 2. If you cannot use Method 2, use Method 3. If you use Method 3, go to Para. 4.E.
     (c) If the MWD is greater than 150 oz.in., use Method 3 by Para. 4.E.
Subtask 72-31-11-970-065-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
C. Calculate the Balance Correction Distribution of the Trim Balance Weights (Method 1)
F Front Blade Retaining Ring ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
F Weight Set and Weight Pair ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
NOTE: Install a weight set or weight pair of the trim balance weights (20) thru (23), to the 36 bolt hole flange of the front blade retaining ring (17) to correct the MWD by this method. The 36 bolt flange is the joint that attaches the front blade retaining ring to the fan disk (15).
F Front Blade Retaining Ring ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
   (1) Find a weight set or a weight pair in Table 6 and Table 7. The difference between the balance effect value of the weight set/pair and the MWD must be within 4 oz.in.
   (2) Calculate the bolt positions where the trim balance weights (20) thru (23) are to be installed
F Front Blade Retaining Ring ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
The position must satisfy the following conditions:
     (a) If the MWD is negative (-), the centre line of the weight set/pair is nearest to the angular position of the replacement fan blade.
     (b) If the MWD is positive (+), the centre line of the weight set/pair is nearest to the diametrically opposite position of the replacement fan blade.
     (c) The trim balance weights (20) thru (23) are installed at open bolt hole positions.
     (d) Record the positions of the balance correction solution, and retain the solution for use when the front blade retaining ring (17) is installed.
   (3) Go to para. 4.F.
Subtask 72-31-11-420-132-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
D. Make a Selection of Matched Pairs of Fan Blades (Method 2)
NOTE: This method removes the replacement of the damaged fan blade and the fan blade diametrically opposite.
NOTE: This method relies on the operator having sufficient stock of spare fan blades with a range of radial moment weights to be able to match a pair of fan blades.
   (1) Remove the fan blade which is 180 degrees opposite to the damaged fan blade. (Ref. AMM TASK 72-31-11-000-010).
   (2) Select a pair of replacement fan blades for the opposite position from the spare stock. The pair of replacement blades must satisfy the following condition:
     (a) MWD (at the opposite position) = MWD (at the damaged fan blade position) +/- 4 oz.in.
   (3) Go to para. 4.F.
Subtask 72-31-11-420-133-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
E. Change the Distribution of the 22 Fan Blades (Method 3)
   (1) Change the distribution of the 22 fan blades.
     (a) Select 22 fan blades to make up a full set.
     (b) Record the following values that are written on the bottom face of the fan blade:
       1 Radial moment weight
       2 Axial moment weight
       3 Tangential moment weight
       4 Fan blade serial number
       5 Mass weight (where marked).
     (c) If the mass weights are not marked on the fan blade, weight each fan blade with a SCALE.
NOTE: Weighing the mass of each fan blade will give a more accurate balance solution from the fan blade distribution program. If insufficient time or no access to a suitable mass weight scale use a nominal figure of 155 oz. in the program for fan blade mass.
     (d) Input the data from steps (1)(b) and (1)(c) to the IAE1J12312 PROGRAM, DISTRIBUTION - FAN BLADE and calculate the optimized fan blade distribution pattern.
     (e) Use marker (Material No.V06-069) to make temporary marks on the fan blades to show the fan blade position as derived from the optimized distribution pattern.
       1 As an alternative to the marker (Material No.V06-069) , it is permitted to use a marker that is specified in IAE V2500 Standard Practices Manual (SPP-V2500-1IA) 70-09-01-400-501 - Procedure To Make Temporary Marks On Components And Assemblies.

     (a) Install the inlet cone with the trim balance weights (1) thru (5) which were removed (Ref. AMM TASK 72-31-11-000-010), to the initial positions (Ref. AMM TASK 72-38-11-400-010).

A. Remove the Ground Support Equipment
   (1) Remove the workmat from the intake cowl.
   (2) Remove the access platform(s).
   (3) Remove the WARNING NOTICE(S).

C. Make a selection of which Test Method is necessary.
   (1) If you used Method 1 or Method 2, go to Para. 5.D.
   (2) If you used Method 3 go to Para. 5.E.
   (3) If original fan blade(s) is installed in original position with MWD unchanged and original balance weight, no vibration testing is required.

D. Engine Vibration Test
CAUTION: DURING GROUND RUNNING, CONCERN FOR FAN BLADE INTEGRITY PROHIBITS STABILISED ENGINE OPERATION IN THE FOLLOWING SPEED RANGE:
  • FOR PRE-SCN17/V A/C: DO NOT STABILISE THE ENGINE BETWEEN 61% TO 74% N1 SPEED RANGE
  • FOR POST-SCN17/V A/C: STABILISED OPERATION OF THE ENGINE BETWEEN APPROXIMATELY 60% TO 74% N1 SPEED RANGE (LIMITS ARE A FUNCTION OF OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE) WILL BE PROHIBITED BY THE EEC, AS THE SOFTWARE INCLUDES THE KEEP-OUT-ZONE FOR ON-GROUND, STATIC OPERATION.
   (1) Start both engines by the Normal Engine Automatic Start Procedure (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-710-043) or Normal Engine Manual Start Procedure (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-710-047).
   (2) Make sure that the indications of operation are in the operation limits.
   (3) Operate the engine at MIN IDLE for five minutes.
   (4) Slowly increase the power of the engine that is not being tested, to 1.08 EPR minimum.
   (5) Slowly increase the power of the test engine to 1.25 EPR for three minutes to let the test engine become thermally stable.
   (6) Slowly increase the power of the test engine to 85 percent N1. If 85 percent N1 is prevented by noise control, increase to highest N1 allowed.
   (7) Let the engine become stable for one minute and decrease to MIN IDLE.
   (8) Decrease power of the engine that is not being tested to MIN IDLE.
   (9) Keep both engines at MIN IDLE for five minutes.
   (10) Do a shutdown by the Discontinued Start, Restart and Shutdown Procedure. (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-710-018)
   (11) Make sure that the vibration is within the limits listed in Engine Operation Limits, Guidelines and Special Procedures, section "Vibration Limits and Fan Trim Balance Vibration Guidelines" (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-860-010).
Subtask 72-31-11-750-059-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
E. Vibration Survey
   (1) Do a vibration survey (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-700-022).
