• Reduced emergent work maintenance/operating restrictions, Fleet Leader Inspections


depending on selected package • Some special inspections beyond the standard shall continue for
— R0 erosion mold inspections (TIL 1603) units undergoing enhancement during the introductory period
— R0 wet operation restrictions (TIL 1603) (approximately the first 30 units receiving packages 2-5)
— R0 erosion blend repairs (TIL 1603) — R0 erosion molds at annual intervals up to first CI – no
— R0/R1 UT inspections (TIL 1638) blending requirement, no operational restrictions
— R0/R1 NDT inspections (TIL 1509) — R0 NDT per TIL 1509 following first year of enhanced
— Aft stator recurrent borescope inspections operation (12 months) – no blending requirement, no
— Stator shim migration/pinning (TIL 1562) operational restrictions
— Aft stator borescope inspections for any unit previously
Standard Inspections experiencing S14-S16 rocking, approximately six months
• Baseline inspections apply to both standard and enhanced post-enhancement
compressors

• The baseline standard for compressor inspections is described Validation Fleet Leaders
in GER-3620 • 6 engineering-identified units applying pre-/early production
— Visual/borescope inspection (annual for most units) enhancement (with or without special instrumentation)
— Major inspection (MI) interval inspections/measurements • These units will be subject to additional inspections/testing
(opening, exposed, closing)
— Unit-specific or condition-based inspections/maintenance

• Inlet system inspections and compressor inlet visual inspections


should be standard practice when accessible. Annual R0 leading
edge mold inspections are a best practice to assist the operator
in monitoring the effects of the compressor inlet air stream. To learn more about this offering, contact your GE sales
