(1) Flat rated to ISA +10 ºC for all altitudes.
(2) Flat rated to ISA +15 ºC for all altitudes.
(3) The Trent 556B-61 and 556B2-61 engines rated takeoff thrust is identical to the
Trent 556-61 and 556A2-61engine at ISA sea level static conditions. The
556B-61 and 556B2-61 ratings provide increased thrust for takeoff at altitudes
above sea level. The magnitude of this increased thrust varies with altitude,
mach number and ambient temperatur e and provides the 560-61 and 560A2-61
ratings at 7341 feet and above.

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
E00066NE. Effective September 28, 2003, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) began
oversight of this product on behalf of the UK.
IMPORT
REQUIREMENTS

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 HP C 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.

NOTE 17. The RB211 TRENT 500 series engines have been approved to operate with certain faults present in
the 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 control
system.
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; ma ximum 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.
