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. E00066NE Page 2 of 7 1.

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. ---END--- ``` ## ADs (23, in force first) - [AD 2017-19-16](https://openairdocs.org/ad/2017-19-16): Turbine Engine Compressor Section · Rolls-Royce RB211 Trent 553-61, RB211 Trent 553A2-61, RB211 Trent 556-61 and 5 more.
