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 22. The above models incorporate the following characteristics: Model Characteristics CF34-8C1 Basic Model CF34-8C5 Derivative of CF34-8C1; side mounted; increased T45 and thrust rating CF34-8C5A1 Derivative of CF34-8C1; side mounted; increased T45 and thrust rating CF34-8C5B1 Derivative of CF34-8C1; side mounted; increased T45 CF34-8C5A2 Derivative of CF34-8C1; side mounted; increased T45 and thrust rating CF34-8C5A3 Derivative of CF34-8C1; side mounted; increased T45 and thrust rating CF34-8E2 Derivative of CF34-8C1; top mounted; increased T45; includes thrust reverser and aft core TCDS E00063EN Page 11 of 12 cowl CF34-8E2A1 Derivative of CF34-8C1; top mounted; increased T45; includes thrust reverser and aft core cowl CF34-8E5 Derivative of CF34-8C1; top mounted; increased T45 and thrust rating; includes thrust reverser and aft core cowl CF34-8E5A1 Derivative of CF34-8C1; top mounted; increased T45 and thrust rating; includes thrust reverser and aft core cowl CF34-8E5A2 Derivative of CF34-8C1; top mounted; increased T45 and thrust rating; includes thrust reverser and aft core cowl CF34-8E5A2HA Derivative of CF34-8C1; top mounted; increased T45 and thrust rating; includes thrust reverser and aft core cowl CF34-8E6 Derivative of CF34-8C1; top mounted; increased T45 and thrust rating; includes thrust reverser and aft core cowl CF34-8E6A1 Derivative of CF34-8C1; top mounted; increased T45 and thrust rating; includes thrust reverser and aft core cowl 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: Designation: Purpose:
