Baffle assembly for interacting with lubricating fluid

A method of installing a baffle for interacting with a lubricating fluid in an aircraft power plant, the method comprising:

• mounting a first side of the baffle to a first structure disposed to a first side of a rotor rotatable about a rotation axis;
• and
• mounting a second side of the baffle to a second structure disposed to a second side of the rotor so that the baffle is positioned adjacent to and radially outward of the rotor during use, the second structure being axially spaced apart from the first structure by an axial distance along the rotation axis of the rotor,
• wherein:
• mounting the first side of the baffle includes installing a first vibration damper between the baffle and the first structure;
• and/or
• mounting the second side of the baffle includes installing a second vibration damper between the baffle and the second structure.

A method of installing a baffle for interacting with a lubricating fluid inside a gearbox of an aircraft power plant, the method comprising:

• fastening a first sidewall to a first structure disposed to a first side of a gear rotatable about a rotation axis;
• fastening a second sidewall to a second structure disposed to a second side of the gear, the second sidewall being axially spaced apart from the first sidewall by an axial distance along the rotation axis of the gear;
• and
• supporting the baffle using the first sidewall and the second sidewall at a position adjacent to and radially outwardly of the gear, supporting the baffle including supporting the baffle via one or more vibration dampers disposed between the baffle and one or both of the first sidewall and the second sidewall.
