Notes: (1) - Typically applies to a situation where a module has only been operating a short time since last
overhaul and it is not necessary to disassemble the module for a more extensive exposure as
determined by inspection.
(2) - Typically applies to a situation where a module was previously full overhauled and complete
disassembly into piece-parts level is considered not essential. The rotor assembly is normally left intact
and performance-related items such as airfoils, seals and shrouds are inspected, repaired/replaced as
required to restore performance.
(3) - Typically applies to a situation when the need to expose internal hardware makes a full overhaul
necessary. The module is disassembled to piece-parts, inspected, repaired/replaced as necessary. Full
performance restoration works are also performed.
