F. Repair Confirmation
(1) Do one of these two optional procedures:
(a) Option 1
Operate the engine at the thrust levels and engine loads at which the stall occurred and look for operational problems. If the test is satisfactory, then interrogate the PFR and the SMR Report. If no internal VSV, VBV, T25 or N2 maintenance message shows , then you corrected the problem.
(b) Option 2
Record the maintenance procedures that have been performed during the inspection/troubleshooting procedure and monitor the engine/airplane on subsequent flights.
