I would rather scope an engine than not
I agree 100%, I am just raising a question as to whether a borescope inspection is sufficient to clear a passenger carrying flight following events, the effects of which are relatively poorly understood. I am thinking a comprehensive test flight through the anticipated environments, followed by a thorough engine inspection upon which less intrusive maintenance operations / inspections may be based, might be a more robust solution to an otherwise much speculated issue?
I am coming from a point of view of getting aircraft flying whilst mitigating as much risk as possible in the interests of safety, as opposed to "I have seen tons of aircraft on an internet screen so it must be alright" - Not that I am suggesting that's your point of view, I understand we are both batting off the same crease.
