The aviation authority for the United Kingdom, the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), originally
type certificated this engine. The FAA validated this product under U.S. Type Certificate Number
E00066EN. Effective September 28, 2003, the European Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA) began oversight of this product on behalf of the UK.
Engine models RB211 TRENT 556B-61, RB211 TRENT 560-61, and RB211 TRENT 556B2-61
are being removed from the TCDS per the EASA/TC Holder request because they were
certificated/validated but never produced (not in service).
IMPORT
REQUIREMENTS CAA or EASA airworthiness approval shall have a Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) or EASA Form 1, Authorized Release Certificate. The JAA or EASA Form 1 should state that the engine conforms
to the type design approved under the U.S. Type Certificate E00066EN, is in a condition for safe
operation and has undergone a final operational check.
Additional guidance is contained in FAA Advisory Circular 21-23, "Airworthiness Certification of
Civil Aircraft, Engines, Propellers, and Related Products Imported into the United States."
Refer to the applicable bilateral agreement to verify eligibility for import into the United States of
both new and used aircraft based on the scope of the agreement, to identify any required
statements by the exporting authority on the export certificate of airworthiness (or equivalent
document), and for procedures for coordinating exceptions to conformity statements on these
documents. Refer to FAA Order 8130.2, Airworthiness Certification of Aircraft, for requirements
for issuance of an airworthiness certificate for imported aircraft.
NOTE 1. The engine ratings are based on static test stand operation under the following A & B conditions:
A.
(1) Compressor inlet air at 59ºF and 29.92 Hg.
(2) No aircraft accessory loads or optional air extraction.
(3) 100% air intake recovery corrected from the datum air intake system defined by drawing
ATF 16471 or approved alternatives.
(4) Engine exhaust system defined by Common Nozzle Assembly RX95432-7 and Spacer
Ring RX95425
(5) Turbine gas temperature and rotor speed limitations are not exceeded.
B. Equivalent Bare Engine Thrust (LBF)
The equivalent bare thrust (lbf) is rated thrust excluding the losses of propulsion fan duct
And thrust reverser and jet pipe washed by the fan stream.

NOTE 5. MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE COMPRESSOR AIR BLEEDS
Air delivery for aircraft services, excluding powerplant anti-icing. The air is automatically
scheduled from the engine HP stage 1 and HP stage 6 compressor bleed ports via two valves in the
aircraft ducting, which select the appropriate supply in response to signals sensing HP compressor
delivery pressure (P30) together with a synthesized HP compressor delivery temperature (T30Syn).
With valve controller 6853A020000X5 the switchover from the HP6 to the HP1 compressor
delivery port occurs at engine power settings where the following conditions are met:
A. Out of icing conditions: When both the HPC delivery static pressure (P30S) is greater
than 105 psi ± 5 gauge.
B. In icing conditions: When both the HPC delivery pressure (P30S) reaches 130 psi ±5 gauge
and the HPC delivery temperature (T30syn) reaches 375ºC ± 5ºC.

Maximum HP3 bleed for powerplant anti-icing (% of HPC inlet flow); this bleed decreases linearly
between the values listed below for the1000ºk TET and 1600ºk TET points.

The RB211 TRENT 500 series engines have been approved to operate with certain faults present inthe
control system, based on satisfaction of FAR 33 requirements and appropriate FAR 25 control system
reliability requirements.
The following criteria exist as dispatch and maintenance requirements for the engine controlsystem.
Fault Class 1 Level A: No dispatch allowed
Fault Class 1 Level B: Dispatchable; maximum operating interval for Fault
Class 1 Level B fault(s) is 300 operating hours
Fault Class 2: Dispatchable; maximum operating interval for Fault
Class 2 fault(s) is 500 operating hours
Fault levels Class 1 and 2 constitute Rolls-Royce nomenclature. The airframe manufacturers may
use different nomenclature in adapting these fault categories to the aircraft maintenance and display
systems; however, the maximum operating intervals are restricted as shown above.
NOTE 18. The takeoff rating and its associated operating limitations may be used for up to 10 minutes in the
event of engine out contingency, but their use is otherwise limited to no more than 5 minutes.
