PW1100 engines
- Those who have seen PW1100 engines would have also seen these 3 holes at 8 equally distant locations.
- These are called wear holes/rubstrip wear holes.
- These holes help in detailed inspection of fan blade rubstrip for wear. There are two methods defined in AMM for the same.
- One method is measurement of fan blade tip clearance using a clearance gauge.
- Other method is rubstrip wear hole depth measurement using a special gauge.
