ENGINE - Power Turbine Module (72-50-00) - Power Turbine Shaft/Torque Reference Tube Magnetic Insert Braze Inspection

1. PLANNING INFORMATION A. Effectivity CT7-2E1 This Alert Service Bulletin is applicable to CT7-2E1 engine models with power turbine (PT) drive shaft assembly part number (P/N) 5125T92G01 installed with less than 100 hours-time since new (TSN) or 100 hours-time since replacement (TSR) of the PT drive shaft assembly produced or made between 2020 and 2023.

The affected engine serial numbers (ESN) and PT drive shaft assembly serial numbers (S/N) listed in this Alert Service Bulletin is the best available data.

See Appendix A, T able 1 for a list of applicable ESNs and PT drive shaft assembly S/Ns.

B. Description This Alert Service Bulletin provides instructions to remove the engine C-sump cover and use an Ultrasonic T est (UT) Phase Array probe to inspect the PT drive shaft assembly reference tube magnetic insert end braze joint.

C. Compliance Category 1 GE recommends that you do this Alert Service Bulletin before subsequent Àight.

Non-passenger operation is allowed for repositioning the aircraft to a maintenance facility if required.

Impact A This recommendation is to address a condition that may affect Àight safety.

NOTE: This Alert Service Bulletin can be done on wing or in shop.

D. Concurrent Requirements None.

E. Reason

(1) Objective:

This Alert Service Bulletin provides an inspection to verify the minimum acceptable braze coverage on the PT drive shaft assembly reference tube magnetic insert.

ENGINE - Power Turbine Module (72-50-00) - Power Turbine Shaft/Torque Reference Tube Magnetic Insert Braze Inspection

(2) Condition:

Multiple PT drive shaft assemblies were shipped with inadequate braze coverage on the end of the PT shaft reference tube magnetic insert joint.

(3) Cause:

Inadequate braze coverage within the torque reference tube magnetic insert joint can become compromised leading to improper torque and speed indications.

(4) Improvement:

Planning has been updated and UT Phase Array probe inspection has been incorporated into the manufacturing process of the torque reference tube assembly.

(5) Substantiation:

Substantiation is by analysis and ¿eld experience.

F. Approval The data contained in this Alert Service Bulletin has been reviewed by the FAA or authorized entity representing the FAA and the repair(s) and modi ¿cation(s) herein comply with the applicable Aviation Regulations and are APPROVED for installation in the model(s) listed in this Alert Service Bulletin.

G. Manpower You will need approximately one man-hour to do this Alert Service Bulletin once the area is exposed.

H. Weight and Balance Weight and balance are not changed.

ENGINE - Power Turbine Module (72-50-00) - Power Turbine Shaft/Torque Reference Tube Magnetic Insert Braze Inspection D. Parts Disposition See paragraph 3., A CCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS.

E. Tooling - Price and Availability Part Number Nomenclature GE-FQAP-803 Ultrasonic Probe T est Kit (Provided by GE Aerospace)

3. ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS A. General NOTE 1: This task can be performed on-wing with the exhaust center body frame and C-sump housing removed.

NOTE 2: T o accomplish this inspection there must be access to the engine C-sump heat shield to allow removal of the heat shield and the C-sump cover to insert the Phase Array Probe (approximately 12.5 inches (318 mm)). The inspection also requires power for an ultrasonic instrument (approximately 12 inches x 12 inches x 6 inches (305 mm x 305 mm x 152 mm)) which must be visually observed by the inspector during the test and must be in close proximity to the probe. This may require removal of the engine from the aircraft in some installations. This inspection may also be carried out on an engine stand or in an engine storage container with the lid removed.

NOTE 3: Review the engine log book for the installation time of the installed PT drive shaft assembly P/N 5125T92G01. If the current operational time on the part since installation is over 100 hours, compliance with this Alert Service Bulletin is satis ¿ed. Go to paragraph 3.B.(3) and record compliance with this Alert Service Bulletin. If the PT drive shaft assembly is less than 100 hours, proceed with the remainder of this Alert Service Bulletin.

NOTE 4: This procedure gives instructions to remove the C-sump heat shield (01-020, Figure 1) and C-sump cover (01-040) to inspect the magnetic insert braze joint on the PT drive shaft assembly (01-070, Figure 2 and Figure 3).

(1) Remove the C-sump heat shield (01-020, Figure 1) and C-sump cover (01-040). Refer to CT7-2E MM GEK 112043-02, 72-50-00, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION, TASK 72-50-00-400-801, paragraph 4.A..

NOTE: The UT Phase Array Probe inspection must be performed by a level 2 or 3 NDT ultrasonic inspector who has been trained by GE Aerospace.

(2) Following the GE proprietary inspection procedure FST-2572 - Phase Array Ultrasonic Inspection Procedure for the torque reference tube, perform the braze inspection to quantify the percentage of braze.

(a) If the percentage of braze is greater than or equal to 42%, the engine may be returned to service.

ENGINE - Power Turbine Module (72-50-00) - Power Turbine Shaft/Torque Reference Tube Magnetic Insert Braze Inspection

(b) If the percentage of braze is less than 42%, tag the engine as failed PT shaft UT inspection and return the engine or PT module to an MRO shop for repair or replacement of the PT drive shaft assembly.

(3) Once the inspection is completed, re-install the C-sump cover (01-040, Figure

1) and C-sump heat shield (01-020). Refer to CT7-2E MM GEK 112043-02, 72-50-00, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION, TASK 72-50-00-400-801, paragraph 4.B.(3)

(4) For installed engines that have passed inspection, perform required checks. Refer to CT7-2E MM GEK 112043-02, 72-00-00, TEST , TASK 72-00-00-760-803, paragraph 4 (Checkout Procedure After Replacement of Parts), paragraph 6.D. (Idle Speed Leakage Check), and paragraph 7.B. (Oil Consumption Check).

(5) For spare engines at the operator that have passed inspection, perform the following:

(a) Go to paragraph 3.B., C ompliance as the inspection will meet the intent of this Alert Service Bulletin. When the engine is installed in an aircraft, perform the required checks. Refer to CT7-2E MM GEK 112043-02, 72-00-00, TEST , TASK 72-00-00-760-803, paragraph

6.C. (Functional T est Procedures for Newly Installed Engines and Component Replacement (includes Idle Speed Leakage Check)) and paragraph 7.B. (Oil Consumption Check).

(6) For engines and modules at an MRO facility that have passed inspection, perform the following:

(a) T est engines per CT7-2E SM GEK 112044-02, 72-00-00, TESTING 006, TASK 72-00-00-760-809 (Idle Speed Check) and 72-00-00, TESTING 011, TASK 72-00-00-760-814 (Oil Consumption Check).

(b) T est modules per CT7-2E SM GEK 112044-02, 72-00-00, TESTING 004, TASK 72-00-00-760-834 (EngineT est Requirements) (Engine Start, Idle Speed Leakage, Transient, and Engine Shutdown Checks).

B. Compliance

(1) Record information in T able A.

(2) Provide copies of T able A and the GE UT inspection report to the GE Field Service Representative and the Customer Representative.

(3) Record compliance of this Alert Service Bulletin in the appropriate CT7 Turboshaft Engine Service Record.
