ABSTRACT:
A method of locating a component requiring a supplemental restraining device on a portion of a gas turbine engine includes applying a fluorescent material to the component, and irradiating the component and surrounding components on the portion of the gas turbine engine with electromagnetic radiation that causes the fluorescent material to emit visible light and thereby increase the visibility of the component. The method may be used to install and/or inspect a lock-wire that in the presence of the electromagnetic radiation has a visibly contrasting appearance compared to that of the component requiring a lock-wire.
