Dear Chief W.C.O.,
Step 3 in the TM should read 0.250
inch (6.350 mm), so make a note in your
TMs until this is corrected. The rest of
Step 3 is correct:
“No more than four
cracks allowed per support. No more
than two cracks allowed in succession
in any direction. Original surface
imperfections are permitted.”
Dear Half-Mast,
TB 9-1000-247-34 says that cracks up to 1/4 inch long are permitted
at cooling holes, but Step 3 on WP 0020 00 in TM 9-1005-213-
23&P says “Cracks up to 0.025 inch (0.635 mm) maximum in length are
permitted at holes”. That’s quite a difference. What’s right?
