Guys, thank you for your posts.

Pacplyer, I apologize for the delay to answer you. Here the link (Please read reply (post) 27)
Rattling CFM56's? — Tech Ops Forum | Airliners.net

Since I didn't get answer regarding the procedure of strapping the fan during engine run-up, I assume this method was applied only for JT9 engines. Is this true?

I never worked on a turboprop. I am wondering if a mechanic was unable to detect a leak by using developer spray/tin foil not efficient to detect the leak(s) OR was performing trim adjustements (if they exist in turboprop), is it possible to approach the turboprop while running?

Do you think tought that using thrust reverse will allow to approach relatively the turboprop?
I assume only few turboprops can be operated on "hotel mode" as an APU where the prop is locked: in such case I assume it is easy to approach the engine.

Feedback appreciated.
Thank you.
