Mick, I'm a pilot. You're speaking Swahili! I will admit to not having read the procedure. There is a suggestion that it takes an hour, requires a torch and a rag? Is this not the case? Others above have questioned this very point, without much of a reaction.
The photo's that I have seen are taken in the wheel well, and the pickle forks can be clearly viewed, along with the cracks? It has been a number of years since I flew the maggot, but it seems straight forward?
Even with the boroscope method you mention, if it takes even two or three hours, wouldn't that be worth it?
