(5) service immediately, and blue etch anodize-inspected to confirm damage. Blades suspected of having electrical discharge damage must be removed from CAUTION: ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE DAMAGE IS NOT REPAIRABLE BY BLENDING. THIS DAMAGE PRODUCES A HEAT AFFECTED AREA WHICH MAY EXTEND UP TO 0.060 INCH (1.524 MM) DEEPER THAN VISIBLE DAMAGE. ANY
BLADES EXHIBITING THIS DAMAGE SHOULD RETIRED FROM SERVICE.
(6) subsurface as well as surface damage is removed. It is critically important The blending procedures described herein are intended to ensure that all that the blending procedures be followed carefully whether performed in the shop or on the wing. Proper blending must be performed in successive stages:
Removal of the visible damage, confrmation by eddy current or fluorescent penetrant inspection that all surface damage has been removed and, finally, removal of additional material to ensure the removal or subsurface deformed D. Preparation For Inspection
(2) Disassemble and remove attached parts). Not Applicable
(2) Remove surface treatments - See Repair-06 (Task 72-31-82-300-006).
(3) Clean base material - See 72-31-00, Cleaning-01 (Task 72-31-00-100-001).

Appendix C Pratt & Whitney PW4000 SERIES ENGINE MANUAL (PN 50A443) STAGE 1 LPC BLADE ASSEMBLY - INSPECTION/CHECK-03 Task 72-31-82-200-003:
1. Visual Inspection - Stage 1 LPC Blade Assembly NOTE: Comply with the following procedures whenever foreign object damage is suspected.
Prerequisites
(1) See Inspection/Check-00 (Task 72-31-82-990-001) for functional arrangement
(2) See Inspection/Check-01 (Task 72-31-82-990-002) for general inspection data. and part number applicability.
B: Equipment And Materials Required - None
c. Inspect State 1 LPC Blade Assembly For Damage See Figures 801 through 803.
Inspect airfoil, except leading and trailing edges for damage. Following types of damage should be blended per repair-02 (Task 72-31-82-300-002) within limits specified in Figure 801.
NOTE: Limits shown in referenced figure refer to maximum material removal allowed during blending and not to actual depth of damage before blending. Damage at or near maximum limits shown will not be reparable if blending will exceed these limits.
(a) Sustained indentations with compressed material and raised edges.
(b) Injuries with small radii or ragged edges.
(c) Tip curl damage.
(2) Inspect leading and trailing edges for foreign object damage such as nicks and dents. These defects must be blended per Repair-02 (Task 72-31-82-300-002).
See Figures 801, 802 and 803. No cracks or tears are permitted.
(a) Damage, not within critical area, should be blended if it exceeds 0.020 inch (0.51 mm) depth.
(b) Damage, within critical area, should be blended if it exceeds 0.005 inch
(0.127 mm) in depth.
(c) Damage not exceeding 0.005 inch (0.127 mm) in depth need not be blended provided material is not torn.
D. Airfoil Root Section Blend Limits See Figure 803.
NOTE: Amount of material removed in previous blend repairs in root section is marked on blade platform as shown in Figure 804. Amount marked is total of all repairs either to leading or trailing edge and should be a consideration when determining if damage is reparable.
