Engine history from the log

The first 100 hour inspection at 101.8 hours blended minor first-stage compressor blade erosion. A 400 hour borescope in Oct 2015 found minor compressor turbine blade impact damage, within limits. The 2019 hot section inspection replaced 10 shroud segments and a PT seal ring, and the final CT blade tip clearance was 0.018 inches.

What to check when buying

Ask for the full engine logbook and the borescope reports. Confirm the 400 hour fuel nozzle cleaning and flow checks, the chip detector checks and the hot section records. The log shows oil conversion to Aeroshell 560 in 2016, a reverse linkage swivel joint replaced in 2019, and salt-laden environment washes with anti-corrosion treatment of the compressor inlet.

Safety notes

  • FOD was found during the Dec 2016 borescope, which led to a hot section inspection. Review the borescope history of any TBM 700 you are considering.
  • A damaged reverse linkage swivel joint was replaced in Oct 2019. Check the condition and records of the reverse linkage.
  • Salt-laden operation is recorded in the log. Inspect for corrosion at the engine inlet and compressor.
