I am perplexed that turbine pilots state that they are unaware of basic engine parameter notation.
Wf fuel flow
Np prop RPM
NG or N1 compressor RPM
TT or TIT Turbine Temperature
Inspections with boroscope have been common practice from atlleast 1990 that I know of.
The question about the rotating exhaust seat has been answered. Whilst not common it exists.
I understand that CASA is not the fount of knowledge but they makes the rules and as a licensed aircraft engineer I have to abide. How far I stretch the rules isn't going to be discussed here.
Operating a private aircraft in a reasonably benign environment does allow one to experiment. Certifying for maintenance on aircraft operating in less than optimal conditions doesn't allow any margin of error.
