Walk arround or run arround.
I have found a few interesting things on walk arrounds that i am glad that i did not take of with.
We should start a new thread and see who has the best, worst story.
Nevermind.
The question was about the 787-800 and its thrusted CFM 56. ( What does CFM stand for by the way, and yes i do know, but do you. Ardwarg is at the core of the answer if i am not mistaken.)

Birds, any small feathers stuck to the fan indicates a birdstrike, and if on the inner part , has gone into the core.
This you can not see from the back, and also you can better see the core statorvans .

The 800 is very low and sucks gravel like a ......... Hoover.
I rotate the fan and look for damage to the leading edge,, etc.
Lastly, why in the name of Odin would i fly this bastard aircraft, born the same year as me , WITHOUT giving the two good engines a good check/look
when i CAN!!??
Oh , and i still have all my fingers, done to much carpentry to put them in rotating things.
By the way centermounted engines never suck gravel and birds.
The new thing is that we are going to start using common sence ,
I dont depart for a 6hr flight with a 78 ton A/C and 26k thrust and just give the engines glance : Cause they sounded fine on the way up here!!??
Anyway,
How do you get ride of ice on the fan if there is any?
You may find the answer counter intuitive.
