ABSTRACT:
A method enables a turbine nozzle for a gas turbine engine to be assembled. The method includes providing a turbine nozzle including a plurality of airfoil vanes extending between an inner band and an outer band, wherein the outer band includes at least one mounting system that extends radially outwardly therefrom and includes a rail and at least one hook, and coupling the turbine nozzle into the gas turbine engine using the mounting system such that the turbine nozzle is at least partially supported by at least one hook. The method also includes positioning a seal assembly between at least one hook and the outer band to facilitate reducing radial leakage through the turbine nozzle.
