*The interturbine temperature is measured by either 5 probes (5 thermocouples) or 10 probes (20 thermocouples) mounted in the low
pressure turbine casing.
** For the CF34-8C1 engine model, maximum takeoff, normal takeoff and maximum continuous T45 limits may be exceeded transiently
as a result of OBV activation provided T45 does not exceed 1869°F (1021°C) for 30 seconds, and does not exceed a temperature limit
that ramps from 1869°F (1021°C) to 1794°F (979°C) over the next 30 seconds, as defined in GE Operating Instructions GEK 105094.
The total number of transient occurrences as a result of OBV activation above a T45 of 1794°F (979°C) is limited to a maximum of 10
occurrences as defined in GE Engine Manual GEK 105091.
*** The 2-minute interturbine temperature (T4.5) limits (2 minutes out of 5 minutes takeoff time) are intended to cover engine T4.5
overshoot characteristics which occur during engine stabilization at constant Takeoff thrust.
For the CF34-8C1 engine model, additional transient temperature and time limits for starting are defined in GE Operating Instructions
GEK 105094.
Refer to GE Engine Manual GEK 105091 (CF34-8C1/8C5 models), GEK 112031 (CF34-8E models) for inspection requirements when
limits are exceeded.

NOTE 3. FUEL AND OIL PRESSURE LIMITS
Fuel: At engine pump inlet: minimum pressure of 5 PSID above the true vapor pressure of the fuel with a vapor/liquid ratio of zero
with aircraft boost operative. Operating range 5 PSIG to 50 PSIG. At engine motive flow discharge: minimum pressure of
150 PSIG at idle or above. Operating range is 150 PSIG to 800 PSIG. See GE Installation Manual GEK 105093 (CF34-
8C1/8C5 models) and GEK 112033 (CF34-8E models) for additional limits.
Oil: At idle on the ground the oil pressure limit is 25 PSID minimum . At takeoff, 45 PSID minimum.. Normal operating range,
25 PSID to 95 PSID. See GE Installation Manual GEK 105093 (CF34-8C1/8C5 models) and GEK 112033 (CF34-8E models)

NOTE 5. Engine ratings are based on calibrated test stand performance under the following conditions:
1. Static sea level standard conditions of 59° F and 29.92 inches Hg.
2. No aircraft accessory loads or air extraction.
3. No anti-icing; no inlet distortion; no inlet screen losses; and 100% ram recovery.
4. Inlet bellmouth and cowl system as described in GE Installation Manual GEK 105093 (CF34-8C1/8C5 models)
and GEK 112033 (CF34-8E models).
5. Specified fuel having an average lower heating value of 18,500 BTU/lb (CF34-8C1/-8C5 models); 18,550
BTU/lb (CF34 –8E models); specified lube oil.
NOTE 6. Air Bleed Extraction - maximum customer air bleed extraction is as follows: Customer bleed air is available from either
stages 6 or 10 (compressor discharge) of the compressor at all operating conditions at or above idle. (No compressor bleed
is permitted below idle.). Customer bleed is scheduled to switch from stage 10 bleed at low power operation to stage 6

NOTE 7. A minimum core speed (N2) must be maintained to ensure engine operation in icing conditions. The FADEC Power
Management controls ground and flight idle core speeds above the minimum speed demonstrated for 14 CFR 33.68,
Induction System Icing. At low ambient temperatures, the minimum permissible ground and flight idle speeds
correspond to N2=58.47% (9,940 rpm) which is a non-adjustable limit, preset in the FADEC Power Management
schedules. As ambient temperatures increase, the minimum permissible core speed increases as scheduled by the FADEC
Power Management based upon N2 or PS3 control schedules.

NOTE 14. CF34-8C1, CF34-8C5 (all models) and CF34-8E (all models), engines comply with the applicable fuel venting and
exhaust emission requirements of Part 34, Amendment 7A, effective May 24, 2024.
NOTE 15. The time limit at the normal takeoff rating is five minutes and shall include any time accumulated above the normal
takeoff rating.
NOTE 16. TIME LIMITED DISPATCH CRITERIA
Criteria pertaining to the dispatch and maintenance requirements for the engine control systems are specified in the
airworthiness section of the Engine Manuals, GEK 105091 (CF34-8C1/8C5 models) and GEK 112041 (CF34-8E models),
which define the various configurations and maximum operating intervals.
NOTE 17. Overhaul of the CF34-8C1, CF34-8C5 (all models) and CF34-8E (all models),
components is only authorized via approved component manuals.
NOTE 18. The 5 minute maximum takeoff time limit may be extended to 10 minutes for one engine
inoperative operation in multi-engine aircraft.
NOTE 19. Refer to Operating Instructions GEK 105094 (CF34-8C1/8C5 models) and GEK 112034
(CF34-8E models) for engine warm-up procedure.
NOTE 20. Refer to Operating Instructions GEK 105094 (CF34-8C1/8C5 models) and GEK 112034
(CF34-8E models) for thrust reverser operation.
NOTE 21. The CF34-8C1, CF34-8C5 (all models), and CF34-8E (all models), engine normal
takeoff interturbine temperature (T45) limit has been established to assure that a fully degraded engine at the
normal takeoff rating will achieve the maximum takeoff rated thrust without exceeding the maximum
takeoff T45 limit.

NOTE 23. The engine is equipped with an Automatic Power Reserve (APR) function for takeoff operation with one engine
inoperative. During normal takeoff (NTO), when the automatic power reserve function is activated, the engine
control of the inoperative engine sends an input signal to the engine control of the operating engine. Upon receiving
this signal, the engine thrust of the operating engine automatically increases from normal takeoff or lower thrust to
the corresponding, pre-determined maximum takeoff (MTO) thrust. If one engine is inoperable full MTO thrust is
available to the pilot at any time by throttle selection.
The engine control system also incorporates schedules that assure a fully degraded engine, during operation, at
the NTO or lower thrust, will achieve the specified MTO thrust without exceeding the engine operating limits
when the automatic power reserve function is activated.
NOTE 24. A suffix may be added to CF34-8 basic engine model numbers on the engine nameplate to identify minor variations
in the engine configuration, installation components, or differences specific to aircraft requirements, for example,
CF34-8C5/M.
Service Bulletin (SB) 72-0235 describes the conversion of the base model to a minor model (with /M designation)
and Service Bulletin (SB) 72-0244 describes the conversion from the minor model back to the base model. Only
those designations and purposes listed below may be used. The SB number must be appended to the engine
nameplate.
Life limits for the /M minor model designation, established for critical components, are published in FAA approved
GE Engine Manual GEK 105091 (CF34-8C1/8C5 models).
Allowable suffix designations:
