CERTIFICATION BASIS FAR 33 effective February 1, 1965, as amended by FAR 33-1 through 33-20. Pursuant to FAR
21.29(a)(1)(ii), the Type Certificate was issued in validation of the Joint Aviation Authorities
Certification Standards JAR-E Change 11 dated 1 November 2001, and EASA CS-E 800(c) issue
1 for large flocking bird ingestion which were found to provide a level of safety equivalent to that
provided by FAR 33.76.
The FAA validated this product under U.S. Type Certificate Number E00075EN. Effective
September 28, 2003, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) began oversight of this
product on behalf of the UK.

IMPORT REQUIREMENTS To be considered eligible for installation on U. S. registered aircraft, each new engine to be
exported to the United States with UK CAA or EA SA 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 E00075EN, is in a condition for safe operation and has undergone a final operational
check.
Reference FAR Section 21.500, which provides for the airworthiness acceptance of aircraft
engines manufactured outside of the United States for which a U.S. type certificate has been
issued.
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."

NOTES
NOTE 1. The engine thrust rating is for an engine on a test bed running at the same TET as an engine installed on an
aircraft, operating to a rated thrust at kink point day temperature, at the point of rotation for take-off. The bare
engine thrust is the take-off thrust plus the thrust that is lost through engine nacelle, by-pass duct and nozzle
leakages and inefficiencies, recognizing that these components do not form part of the engine type design.
NOTE 2. MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE ENGINE ROTOR SPEEDS (%)
100% HP = 12,200 rpm / 100% IP = 8,300 rpm / 100% LP = 2,900 rpm.
Takeoff (5 minutes, see NOTE 20)
HP 97.8%
IP 97.8%
LP 96.1%
Maximum continuous (see note 22)
HP 97.7%
IP 97.8%
LP 96.1%
NOTE: Stabilized operation in the speed range 64% to 72% NL or above 78% NL is not permitted during static
operations with forward airspeed less than 45 knots. Passing through the speed range of 64% to 72% while
increasing or decreasing thrust is permitted.
NOTE 3. MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE TEMPERATURES
TURBINE GAS TEMPERATURE (TGT) - Trimmed (oC):
Starting (Momentary maximum during starts below 50% HP speed): 700
Maximum for Takeoff (5 minutes) (see NOTE 20) 900
Maximum continuous (unrestricted) 850
Maximum Overtemperature (20 seconds) 920 (See NOTE 21)
Maximum during relights in flight 850
NOTE: TGT is measured by thermocouples positioned at the 1st stage Nozzle Guide Vane of the LP Turbine.
FUEL (°C): (See NOTE 15)
Minimum fuel temp in flight: -54 (or the freeze point, whichever is higher
Minimum fuel temp for ground starting: -20 (for the Hydro Mechanical Unit and LP fuel filter)

Maximum Allowable Oil Consumption (l/hr): 0.46
NOTE 5. MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE COMPRESSOR AIR BLEEDS
The maximum allowable air delivery for aircraft services, excluding powerplant anti-icing is given below. This air is automatically
scheduled from the engine IP stage 8 at take-off, cruise and climb and HP stage 6 compressor bleed ports at descent and idle ground
conditions. At holding conditions (from 5,000 ft to 30,000 ft), switchover from IP8 to HP6 Stage bleed occurs.
At normal operating conditions (4 bleeds and 2 aircraft air-conditioning packs), air is bled from the IP off-take whenever IP
port pressure is greater than 30.0 psi. For IP off-take pressures lower than this value, air is bled from the HP off-take.
At abnormal operating conditions (2 bleeds and 1 aircraft air-conditioning pack), air is bled from the IP off-take as long as the
IP port pressure is greater than 33.5 psi (34.5 psi in icing conditions); otherwise, air is bled from the HP off-take.
Maximum HP6 bleed (% W26): This bleed decreases linearly between the values listed below
for the 1020oC turbine entry temperature (TET) and switchover points.
1. Normal Operation
i. Low idle and up to 1020 oC TET
ii 1020 oC to 1218 oC
2. Abnormal (One engine operation)
i. Low idle and up to 1103 oC TET
ii. 1103 oC to 1173 oC
ii. 1173 oC to 1258 oC
Maximum IP8 bleed (% W24): This bleed (IP8) decreases linearly between the values listed
below for the maximum continuous and maximum takeoff points.
1. Normal Operation
i. 1218 oC to 1393 oC
ii. 1393 oC to 1488 oC
iii. 1488 oC to Max take-off
2. Abnormal (One engine operation)
i. 1258 oC to 1504 oC
ii. 1504 oC to Max take-off
AIR DELIVERY FOR POWERPLANT ANTI-ICING
Maximum HP3 bleed (%W26):
This bleed decreases linearly between the values listed below The nacelle thermal anti-icing
flow demand (HP3) is modulated via a regulating valve to provide a constant flow function at the
engine/ nacelle.
1. Normal Operation
i. Low idle to 888oC
ii. 888 oC to 1293 oC
iii. 1293 oC to 1548 oC

NOTE 15. The fuel temperature is taken as that in the wing tank. The minimum and maximum fuel temperature and
pressure are not measured on the engine and therefore, not provided to the flight deck. However, the wing tank
temperature is available on the flight deck and is assumed that there is negligible difference in temperature
between the tank and the engine inlet.
NOTE 16. The acceleration from 15% to 95% of the Trent 980 rated take-off power is 5.6 seconds.
NOTE 17. VARIANTS
RB211-Trent 970-84 Basic model.
RB211 Trent 972-84 Same as basic model except for increased thrust ratings
NOTE 18. The engine models (RB211 Trent 970-84 and 972-84,) have not been approved for Time Limited Dispatch.
NOTE 19. These engines are approved for use with Aircelle Thrust Reverser Unit (TRU) at the inboard engine positions
(Part number ASE 0010-XX-0 for the left hand installation and ASE 0050-XX-0 for the right hand installation)
and for a fixed fan duct (FFD) in the outboard engine positions (Part numbers ASE 5010-XX-0 for the left hand
installation and ASE 5050-XX-0 for the right hand installation), The TRU and FFD do not form part of the
engine type design and must be certified as part of the aircraft type design.
NOTE 20.
The take-off 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 not more than 5 minutes.
NOTE 21.
The engine models (RB211 Trent 970-84 and , 972-84,) are approved for a maximum exhaust gas
overtemperature of 920°C for inadvertent use for periods of up to 20 seconds without requiring maintenance
action. The cause of the overtemperature must be investigated and corrected.
NOTE 22. No overhaul is authorized until the EM and MM are approved and delivered.
NOTE 23 The maximum Continuous Speed limitations defined in this Data Sheet are not displayed as limitations on the
A380 flight deck. In accordance with the equivalent safety finding against JAR-E740(f), non display of these
limitations is acceptable.
NOTE 24 On February 5, 2026, EASA notified the FAA of Rolls-Royce, Deutschland Ltd. & Co. KG’s request to
surrender the TC for engine models RB 211 Trent 970B-84, Trent 972B-84, Trent 977-84, Trent 977B-84 and
Trent 980-84. The FAA has concurred with Rolls-Royce’s request to surrender the TC for the aforementioned
engine model. The FAA has revised E00075EN accordingly to remove mention of those engine models. Import
of these engine models into the US is prohibited.
