Narrative

ANOTHER MECH AND I WERE ASSIGNED FOR AN ENG OVERTEMP CONDITION. WE OPENED THE ENG TO ACCOMPLISH A VBV (VARIABLE BLEED VALVE) INSPECTION. AS WE WERE PULLING UP THE PROC TO DO THE VBV INSPECTION; METAL WAS DISCOVERED IN THE TAILPIPE SCREEN. AT THIS TIME IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE AN ENG CHANGE. WE STOPPED THE VBV INSPECTION AND PROCEEDED TO START THE ENG CHANGE. WE WORKED THE ENG CHANGE UP TO LUNCHTIME; AT WHICH TIME WE WERE INFORMED TO HOLD UP ON THE ENG CHANGE SO A BORESCOPE COULD BE ACCOMPLISHED. THE BORESCOPE WAS COMPLETED AND NO DEFECTS WERE FOUND. BECAUSE OF THEIR FINDINGS; THE ENG CHANGE WAS CANCELED. AT THIS POINT WE HAD TO DECIDE HOW TO HANDLE THE JOB CARD AND OTHER FORMS; UP TO WHERE WE WERE ON THE ENG CHANGE. WE STAMPED THE JOB CARD FOR OUR WORK AND FILLED OUT OTHER FORMS. WE THEN GAVE A VERBAL TURNOVER TO THE NEXT SHIFT LEAD. I THINK THE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS TO THIS INCIDENT IS LACK OF COM BTWN THE MECHS; LEAD MECHS; AND FOREMAN. THE PROB OF THE INFLT ENG SHUTDOWN WAS DISCOVERED WHEN THE PLT USED HIS NOSE COWL ANTI-ICE. IT BURNED THE FADEC HARNESS.
