The Role of Borescope Inspections For Predictive Engine Maintenance
Preserve the Value of Your Aircraft with Engine Borescope Inspections
In any aircraft, particularly older models, the engines represent a significant portion of the total value. Proper monitoring and maintenance are critical to preserving this residual value, and borescope inspections are a key part of that process.
Why Borescope Inspections Matter
Borescope inspections offer a non-invasive and highly effective way to assess the internal condition of your aircraft’s engines. By identifying early signs of wear, corrosion, or damage, these inspections can help prevent issues from developing into major, costly repairs.
We strongly recommend including borescope inspections in pre-purchase evaluations. For potential buyers, this provides clear insight into the engine’s internal health and future maintenance costs, key factors in any aircraft acquisition decision.
Extend Time-Before-Overhaul (TBO) and Optimize Maintenance
Regular borescope inspections can help aircraft owners and operators maximize engine life by verifying whether core components such as turbine blades, combustion chambers, and compressor sections remain within acceptable wear limits. Some engine programs use these inspections to extend service intervals, allowing maintenance to be based on actual engine condition rather than fixed timelines.
Troubleshooting and Incident Response
If engine performance metrics raise concern, a borescope inspection is a smart and practical troubleshooting step. It’s also essential following events such as bird strikes or foreign object ingestion, where internal damage may not be externally visible. The high-resolution images captured can support insurance claims and inform timely repair decisions.
Why ExecuJet MRO Services?
ExecuJet MRO Services is an Authorised Service Centre (ASC) for industry-leading engine manufacturers including General Electric, Pratt & Whitney, Honeywell, and Rolls-Royce. Our Mobile Repair Teams (MRT) are equipped to travel to your location and perform borescope inspections on-site.
We use advanced borescope systems equipped with high-resolution cameras and lighting, allowing our technicians to inspect otherwise inaccessible areas in real time. Detailed measurements of component wear such as length, width, and depth ensure parts remain within safe operating limits, or identify when replacements are necessary.
