Care to answer if you borescope (or have your engine borsecoped) routinely such as with every annual/condition inspection? When I paid to have my condition inspection done, the A&P/IA did not borescope it, and quite frankly the entire inspection was minimal hence why I never went back to that location. I have my repairman certificate and have done my own inspections since but I think I finally found someone reputable and may go to him this fall on the next inspection. As a new aircraft owner, there are things like this I have to learn and I learned from others that shared a problem which makes me very interested in learning more about this.
I'm going to inquire with my local maintenance shop about this but I also want to learn how to do it as there is no harm with looking myself from time to time. With that said, anyone have a good recommendation for a borescope that works well for this? I have the one linked below but haven't used it yet for an engine borescope, I learned of it with my RVing (motorhome) and use it to find something dropped, etc.
I look forward to learning from others on their borescope used and lessons learned, findings, etc. when having your engine borsecoped.
