(5) Substantiation
Substantiation is by analysis.
D. Description
This Service Bulletin provides accomplishment instructions to do the borescope inspection of the LPT blades
stage 1 tip shroud interlock gap and LPT Stage 1 Retainer Ring if necessary.
E. Compliance
Category 2
CFM recommends that you do this Service Bulletin as soon as possible without effect on revenue service but
before 1600 Flight Cycles (FC) and then per the intervals defined in Table 1 and Table 2.
For engines that have accumulated more than 1600 FC at the issue date of this Service Bulletin, apply this Service
Bulletin not later than 1 month after the issue date.
Impact B
This recommendation is to address a condition that may result in an increased rate of In Flight Shut Down (IFSD)
, Take Off Aborts (TOA) , Air Turn Back (ATB) or Diversion (DIV) .
NOTE: Refer to SB: LEAP-1A-72-00-0002-01A-930A-D for additional information about category compliance and
impact statement.
F. Approval
The technical content of this Service Bulletin is approved by the FAA and under the authority of DOA number
EASA.21J.086.
G. Manpower
You will need approximately two man-hours to do this Service Bulletin.

5. ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS
A. Do the borescope inspection of the LPT blades stage 1 leading edge.
(2) Inspect all LPT blades stage 1 leading edges for evidence of tip shroud interlock gap which is typical of
retainer ring distress. Refer to: Figure 1 and Figure 2.
NOTE: Put the borescope probe in the same axis as the interlock in order to have a good view.
(a) If no interlock gap found: End of SB LEAP-1A-72-00-0151-01A-930A-D, re-apply SB within 1600 cycles.
(b) If interlock gap found: Perform a 360° borescope inspection of the LPT Stage 1 Retainer Ring as de-
scribed below. Refer to: Figure 2.
B. Visual inspection of LPT Stage 1 Retainer Ring. Refer to: Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6 and Figure 7.
NOTE: Training video of the LPT Stage 1 Retainer Ring inspection is available on www.mycfmportal.com.
Use widget “my download”, select “LEAP-1A”, select “Maintenance”, Document Name: “LEAP-1
A Retainer Ring Inspection”.
(a) Put the borescope between LPT stage 1 blades trailing edge and LPT stage 2 nozzles leading edge and
go under LPT stage 1 blades root platform.
(b) Look forward and find the hole in the nozzle FWD baffle allowing to see the LPT stage 1 retainer ring.
Refer to: Figure 3.
NOTE: Engines with post SB LEAP-1A-72-00-0176-01A-930A-C LPT Stage 1 Retainer Ring do not
have anti-rotation pin. Refer to: Figure 5.
