A compressor assembly includes a compressor casing, a blade row inside the compressor casing, first and second bleed cavities defined at first and second axial locations in the compressor casing with the second axial location at least partially overlapping the first axial location in an axial direction, and first and second bleed scoops defining first and second inlets to first and second bleed cavities, respectively. The first bleed scoop extends from a first compressor stage to the first bleed cavity to direct compressed air from the first compressor stage through the first inlet and into the first bleed cavity. The second bleed scoop defines a second inlet to the second bleed cavity. The second bleed scoop extends from a second compressor stage to the second bleed cavity to direct compressed air from the second compressor stage through the second inlet and into the second bleed cavity.

A tool for performing inspection and/or maintenance operations on an engine defines a longitudinal direction and a tangential direction. The tool includes a base extending along the longitudinal direction and including a body, a first extension member extending from the body in the tangential direction at a first location, and a second extension member extending from the body in the tangential direction at a second location. The second location is spaced from the first location along the longitudinal direction. The tool also includes a pivot member rotatably coupled to the base and moveable between an insertion position in which the pivot member is oriented generally along the longitudinal direction and a deployed position in which the pivot member is oriented away from the longitudinal direction.
