ENGINE, COMBUSTION ASSEMBLY -- INSPECTION OF OUTER

COMBUSTION CASE P/N M250--10404
1. PLANNING INFORMATION

A. Effectivity
(1) Engines
All Rolls--Royce Model 250 --C28 Series, Model 250--C30 Series, Model 250--C40B, Model
250--C47 Series, and Model 250--C47E Series engines with M250--10404 Outer Combustion
Case installed are affected by this bulletin.
(2) Spares -- Affected
B. Reason
Rolls--Royce has become aware of the potential of M250--10404 Outer Combustion Cases to crack
in certain locations. This commercial engine bulletin (CEB) is being released to further decrease the
inspection interval from 150 to 25 hours in order to discover potential power and performance
reduction causing cracks.

C. Description
This CEB provides the instructions for operators perform a repetitive visual and Leak--Tec inspection
at every 25 flight hours.
D. Approval
Technical aspects are FAA approved.

E. Compliance
Compliance Code 2. To be complied with within 25 flight hours after receipt of this bulletin and
every 25 flight hours thereafter.
(1) For an Outer Combustion Case (OCC) that complies with the minimum weld size requirements
in 2.A.(2), the 25 hour repetitive inspection per this CEB is no longer required. Refer to the
applicable Operations and Maintenance Manual for recommended inspection intervals.
(2) For operators in remote locations with no maintenance personnel available, the inspection can
be extended to a maximum of 50 hours after receipt of bulletin and 25 hours thereafter.
F. Interchangeability -- Not affected

2. ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS
A. Inspect the inner fuel nozzle boss doubler weld size on the external surface of the OCC.
NOTE: If due to installation constraints, the weld cannot be fully inspected per section A.(1)
below, skip to section 2.B. and complete the visual and Leak--Tec inspection.
(1) Inner fuel nozzle boss weld depicted in Fig. 1 must be at least 0.085 in. (2.2 mm) in height as
measured from the fuel nozzle boss doubler
NOTE: Additional clarification on the acceptance criteria is shown in Fig. 2.
(2) If the leg of the weld meets the minimum size requirements at all circumferential locations
around the fuel nozzle boss:
(a) Mark CW adjacent to the part number per 478--2D1 shallow vibropeen to track bulletin
compliance.
(b) Proceed to Section 2.C
NOTE: If this specific OCC qualifies for this alternate compliance method, the
requirement for Visual and Leak--Tec inspections every 25 hours is lifted and the
inspection interval returns to 150 hours per the Operations and Maintenance
Manual.
(3) If the fuel nozzle boss inner weld does not meet the size requirements in Fig 1:
(a) Comply with inspection criteria in section 2.B.(1) and 2.B.(2)
NOTE: OCCs that do not meet the definition in Fig.1 are required to continue the
recurring 25 hour inspection requirement.
B. Inspection -- Accomplishment of both items (1) and (2) must be completed at time of compliance.
(1) Using a bright light (flashlight or equivalent) and mirror, inspect all the welds on the outer
combustion case (see Fig. 3). No cracks are allowed. An outer combustion case that is cracked
must be removed from service and repaired. Welded areas are:

(a) Horizontal butt welds on outer surface and between the air discharge tube attachment
flanges and gas producer attachment flange on forward side.
(b) Both forward and aft circumferential seam welds between outer case and inner liner.
(c) Welds for attaching bosses for fuel nozzle, both combustion case drain valves, both igniter
plugs.
NOTE: Pay particular attention to welds in areas surrounding the threaded fuel nozzle boss.
(2) Inspect, utilizing the Leak--Tec (step 2.B.(2)(a)) or fluorescent penetrant inspection (step 2.B.(2) (b))
method, the above designated areas (steps 2.B.(1)(a) thru 2.B.(1)(c)). No cracks are allowed. An
outer combustion case that is cracked must be removed from service and repaired. Inspect the
designated areas in one of the two methods as follows:
CAUTION: DO NOT APPLY LEAK--TEC TO A HOT ENGINE. DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE
CAN OCCUR. THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE MUST BE SATISFACTORY FOR
INSPECTION WHEN THE BARE HAND CAN BE PLACED ON THE OUTER
COMBUSTION CASE WITHOUT DISCOMFORT.
(a) Apply Leak--Tec to the above designated areas (steps 2.B.(1)(a) thru 2.B.(1)(c)) and
utilizing a suitable power source, motor the engine to approximately 20% N1 (or as close
as possible considering the power available) and look for bubbles. No bubbles (crack
indication) are allowed.
NOTE: Observe the duty cycle time on the starter--generator.
(b) Fluorescent penetrant inspect the above designated areas (steps 2.B.(1)(a) thru
2.B.(1)(c)) utilizing a light source for cracks. No crack indications are allowed.
NOTE: Refer to Customer Support Video instructions for the Leak--Tec inspection
method. https://youtu.be/Ju4arLnmmGc
C. Record compliance in the Engine Log Books, Engine Assembly, and Turbine Assembly pages as
applicable with the following:
Model 250--C28 Series CEB 72--2218
Model 250--C30 Series CEB 72--3303
