SUBTASK 72-00-00-941-096-A
A. Safety Precautions
(1) On the center pedestal, on the ENG panel 115VU:
(a) Put a WARNING NOTICE(S) to tell persons not to start the engine.
(2) Make sure that the engine shutdown occurred five minutes or more before you do this
procedure.

B. Do a battery check of the TAP tester:
(1) Make sure that the display does not show the message LOW BATTERY.
NOTE: The battery capability gives eight hours continuous use before a recharge is
necessary.
NOTE: A charge time of 16 hours is required for every eight hours use.
NOTE: The battery life is 500 charging cycles, which is approximately 18 months if
charged daily.
NOTE: If the battery charge is not sufficient for your operation or if the TAP tester d
oes not hold its charge well, a modification is available to increase the batter
y capability. A TAP tester which has this modification does not have the multi
-pin battery connector, but a larger version of the probe socket. Consult you
r IAE representative if you require this modification.
SUBTASK 72-00-00-730-051-A
C. Do a system check of the TAP tester:
Ref. Fig. Transient Acoustic Propagation (TAP) Test Set
CAUTION: EACH TAP TESTER IS ISSUED WITH A PROBE THAT IS ELECTRONICALL
Y MATCHED TO THE TAP TESTER. DO NOT CHANGE PROBES WITH ONE
MATCHED TO ANOTHER UNIT AS THIS CAN CAUSE ACCEPTANCE OF RE
JECTABLE BLADES.
(1) Connect the probe to the tester.
NOTE: Make sure that the probe does not make contact with the blades.
(2) Press the ON switch. The display shows RRM THOR UNIT.
NOTE: The message RRM THOR UNIT shows that no pass/fail value has been pre-pr
ogrammed in to the tester.
(3) Press the MENU switch. The display shows SYSTEM TEST.
(4) Press the EXE switch. The display shows SYSTEM OK.
NOTE: If the display shows a value, the probe has been damaged. You must replac
e the probe as soon as possible and do the system check again.
(5) Press the OFF switch to turn the tester off.
NOTE: This step is necessary to disable the system check.
SUBTASK 72-00-00-720-050-A
D. Do a functional check of the TAP test set.
(1) Apply a small quantity (approximately pea sized) of the ultrasonic couplant (Material
Ref. V06-148) to the plastic insert in the TEST BLOCK-TRANSIENT ACOUSTIC PROPAG
ATION (IAE2R18902) or the test block of the TEST SET - TRANSIENT ACOUSTIC PROP
AGATION (IAE2R19921).

(2) Put the TAP test block on a table or a flat surface. Attach the probe to the plastic inse
rt. Make sure that the probe is in the center of the plastic insert and the ultrasonic co
uplant has not been put onto the metal around the plastic insert.
(3) Press the ON switch. The display shows RRM THOR UNIT.
(4) Press the EXE switch:
CAUTION: DO NOT HOLD THE TAP TEST BLOCK WHEN YOU READ THE VALU
E ENGRAVED ON THE SIDE OF THE TEST BLOCK. YOUR HAND WI
LL ABSORB SOME OF THE SOUND PULSE PRODUCING A FASTER
DECAY RATE AND GIVE READINGS OUTSIDE THE RANGE ENGRAV
ED ON THE TEST BLOCK.
(a) Press the EXE switch. The display shows a value. Make sure that the value sho
wn on the display is within the range of the value engraved on the side of the T
AP test block:
1 If you cannot get the correct value, clean the block and do the functional
check again. If you cannot get the correct value after three tries, the sys
tem has failed. If you get an error message, consult the USER GUIDE.
2 If the values shown are more than the value engraved on the side of the
TAP test block, make sure that the tufnol base has not been bonded to t
he test block and that the base is free to turn.
3 If the tufnol base is tight on the test block, the base will absorb some of
the sound pulse which causes a faster decay rate. If necessary, the tufno
l base can be removed and the fit loosened by machining out the inside
diameter.
4 Do not remove the tufnol base for the functional check, because differen
t types of work surface will absorb the changing amounts of sound. This
can cause faster and inconsistent decay rates.

E. Do an Inspection of the LP Compressor Fan Blades
Ref. Fig. Probe Position during TAP Test
(1) Do a TAP-test inspection at 6 o'clock position. Lightly move the blade radially in both
directions to ensure that the LP compressor fan blade moves.
(2) Apply a small quantity (approximately pea sized) of Ultrasonic Couplant (Material Ref.
V06-148) to the lower convex airfoil adjacent to the annulus filler line.
(3) Attach the probe to the No. 1 LP compressor fan blade.
(4) LP compressor fan blade recommendations

(a) Press the EXE switch. The display will show the value or message in approxima
tely four seconds.
NOTE: If the display shows the message COUPLING FAILURE, apply more Ult
rasonic Couplant (Material Ref. V06-148) and do the inspection again.
(6) If TAP-test display value is less than 700 dB/sec., accept the LP compressor fan blad
e.
(7) If TAP-test display value is more than 700 dB/sec. but less than 800 dB/sec., the LP c
ompressor fan blades can stay in use for further five flight cycles. Reject the fan blad
es after five flight cycles.
(8) If the TAP-test display value is more than 800 dB/sec., reject the LP compressor fan b
lade.
(9) Remove any LP compressor fan blade rejected from the LP compressor fan disk Ref. A
MM TASK 72-31-11-000-010 or Ref. AMM TASK 72-31-11-000-010 and repeat the TA
P-test inspection on a workbench or hard surface.
(a) If the value by the repeat TAP-test inspection is less than 700 dB/sec., accept t
he LP compressor fan blade.
(b) If the value by the repeat TAP-test inspection is more than 700 dB/sec. again,
send the LP compressor fan blade to an overhaul shop and carry out a C-scan i
nspection Ref. EM 720000 (0AM53). Supply the results to IAE Technical Service
s.
(10) Complete the LP compressor fan blade TAP-Test Inspection Record Proforma
Ref. Fig. LP Compressor Fan Blade TAP-Test Inspection Record Proforma
NOTE: If LP compressor fan blades have been removed from the LP compressor fan
disk then record P/N and S/N details on the proforma. If LP compressor fan
blades have not been removed from the LP compressor fan disk, P/N and S/
N are not required.
NOTE: Supply one copy of the proforma to your local IAE representative. Keep one
copy for your maintenance records.
(11) Attach the probe to the No. 2 LP compressor fan blade.
