MS760 inspection

 I went for an MS760 inspection, and even if the aircraft look good, nice paint , old avionics complete and not tested, I did my inspection as each mechanic should do:

First Borescope with a real borescope not a autozone one!

Even if last entries was done by a mechanic, and then the aircraft never flew again, how he could missed the cracks and holes far beyond possible repairs, since nobody is doing overhaul for the Turbomeca Marbore engines.

I do not talk about pencil whipping overhaul.

Right engine outer combustion chamber:


 Left engine outer combustion chamber:




To top it off, wings have corrosion.

Be careful,  use a competent mechanic who know the aircraft 

It could end up to have a airplane costing you too much to fix or taking place in your hangar for a long time.

Remember Standard category MS760 have 1000 hours TBO time for the Marbore VI C2 engines mandatory and 750 hours for Marbore II C3 engines.

Other types of Marbore like VI J2 was never type certificated in the US so can be installed only on MS760 under experimental category.
