So how is it first detected as an abnormality?
It would only be picked up if a borescope was being done for.
a). Routine
b). If looking at something else.
The 20 landings limit is in place to plan the engine change. (for rub into the fillet radius I should add!)
IF the damage was caused by NGV's letting go. I think the manual might change
