Turbomeca have referred us to their service letter 2332/05 which outlines the precautions to be taken when operating engines in a "Polluted atmostphere". We had dust falling here on Friday but no visible amounts since then. Consequently, we are keeping the aircraft inside, responding only to tasks where there is an immediate risk to life and carrying out an engine rinse after each flight.
