Abstract
An apparatus and method for inspecting cooling holes in an engine component can include a cover that is placed over the engine component and positioned proximate at least some of the cooling holes. A fluid is passed through the engine component to exhaust out of the cooling holes and impinge upon the cover. Analysis of the signature of the fluid impinging on the cover can be used to determine operation of the cooling holes with comparison of the signature to a reference signature.
