The probe's path
Assess the internal condition of the engine's compressor and turbine, and document the indications found with measurements, without major teardown.
Inside
The probe worked through the internal components of the compressor and turbine via the engine's access ports.

Technical notes
Can a CFM56 engine be inspected without teardown?
Yes. On this job the compressor and turbine were assessed with a videoscope inserted through the engine's access ports, without major teardown.
What is 3D measurement used for in a borescope inspection?
It sizes the indications found on screen and documents them with their measurement. On this job, for example, a total length of 24.11 mm was measured.
Which videoscope was used?
A Mitcorp videoscope with 3D measurement, the Mitcorp X3000 HD, which KVSG sells and rents in Lima.
Does KVSG inspect aircraft engines in Peru?
Yes. We do borescope inspection of aircraft turbines in the hangar and in the workshop, with photo and video records of every finding.
