"I had to determine what type of combustion chambers were installed in our own engines in order to develop inspection procedures," he said. "I did this by researching the engine build records. Messages were then sent to the using commands alerting them to check for cockpit indications of combustion chamber distress." Mr. Dobing then went to Miami to confer with Pratt & Whitney representatives and officials from the Navy, which also uses the engine. The meeting was held at Corp., which holds a By Mary Gaffey San Antonio ALC, Kelly AFB, Texas Efforts by an equipment specialist at San Antonio Air Logistics Center, Kelly AFB, Texas, to determine the safety of Air Force JT8D engines have resulted in recent improvements to both Air Force and Federal Aviation Administration inspection procedures. Frank Dobing, of the Propulsion Management Division in the Directorate of Materiel Management there, spearheaded two separate investigations following the crash of a commercial aircraft in England and another in the United States. Aero-Thru- The Boeing 737 which crashed in Manchester, England, was powered by the JT8D-1- 5 engine. "We were informed by Pratt and Whitney, manufacturer of the JT8D, that a combustion chamber found on the runway at Manchester had apparently separated from one of the engines," Mr. Dobing said. "There was concern here because the Air Force uses JT8D-9and JT8D-7models to C-- 9 their and aircraft. power A could be detected by borescope inspection," he said. On his return to Kelly, Mr. Dobing reviewed the JT8D inspection and repair program to ensure the safety and integrity of the Air Force engines.

Mr. Dobing was instrumental in establishing an inspection procedure which could be accomplished without removing the engine from the aircraft. Pratt & Whitney officials said the JT8D has 250 million accumulated flight hours worldwide, and the accident in England was the first involving that particular type of engine that resulted in loss of life.
