 changed to "CFM56-5-A1/F", at the r equest of the manufacturer.  No  
 CFM56-5A2 models were released to revenue service. 
 
PRODUCTION BASIS The original production basis was "Agreement de Production" Numbers F.G.007 or P03 
issued by the DGAC for engines produced in France by Snecma under license from 
CFM International, S.A. Effective September 28, 2004, these engine models were 
produced under EASA Production Certificate FR.21G.0007. (See NOTE 11) 
IMPORT 
REQUIREMENTS 
To be considered for installation on aircraft registered in the United States, each 
individually imported engine must be accompanied by an EASA airworthiness approval 
certificate (EASA Form 1 – Authorized Release Certificate) or JAA Form 1 issued by 
Snecma on behalf of EASA under EASA Production Certificate FR.21G.0007. 
 
The EASA Form 1 – Authorized Release Certificate, or JAA Form 1, should contain the 
following statement: ‘The engine covered by this certificate has been examined, tested, 
and found to conform to U.S. Type Certificate No. E29NE and is in a condition for safe 
operation.  See Note 11.   
 
’

Fuel limits 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Oil limits 
Operation and air/ground starting pressure limits extend from a minimum 
fuel pressure of not less than 5.5 psia (37.9 kPa absolute) above the true 
fuel vapor pressure to a maximum of 60 psig (413.7 kPa gauge), relative to 
atmosphere, with vapor/liquid ratio of zero at all conditions.  For limits, see 
Installation Manual, Part A, Section 5, Figures A2 through A5. 
 
The minimum pressure limit at idle is 13 psid (89.6 kPa differential) and 
varies up to 45 psid (310.2 kPa differential) at cruise thrust.  The maximum 
pressure limit during cold starts is 300 psid (2069 kPa differential), limited 
by a pressure-relief valve.  See NOTE 14.

NOTE 8. Approved fuel conforming to GE Specification D50TF2.  MIL-T-5624, 
Grades JP-4 or JP-5, ASTM D 1655, Jet A, A1 and B are consistent with 
this GE Specification.  Primary fuel is Jet A, with other fuels listed being 
acceptable alternates.  No fuel control adjustment is required when 
changing from primary to alternate fuels.  Use of aviation gasoline is not 
authorized.  Consult Specific Operating Instructions for additive usage. 
 
NOTE 9. Life limits established for crit ical rotating components are published in the 
CFM56-5 Shop Manual, Chapter 5. 
 
NOTE 10. Power setting, power checks and control of engine thrust output in all 
operations is to be based on CFMI engine charts referring to fan speed.  
Fan speed sensors are included in the engine assembly for this purpose. 
 
NOTE 11. The type certificate holder, CF M International, S.A., is a company 
established and jointly owned by Societe Nationale l'Etude et de 
Construction de Moteurs d'Aviation (SNECMA) of France and the General 
Electric Company for the certification, sale, and support of CFM56 series 
engines.  With respect to the benefits of type certification for production, 
General Electric and SNECMA function as licensees of CFM International, 
S.A. 
 
This type certification applies only to engines produced in France under 
EASA Certificate E.067..  Engines of the same model designation produced 
in the United States under Type Certificate No. E28NE are identical to and 
fully interchangeable with engines produced under this type certificate.  
Similarly, modules, assemblies, or parts produced in the United States 
under Production Certification No. 108 are eligible for use in engines 
produced under this type certificate. 
 
These engines, when produced by General Electric, are identified by the 
serial number prefix "730 and 732"; when produced by SNECMA, they are 
identified by the prefix "731 and 733". 
 
NOTE 12. A suffix may be added to the basic engine model number on the engine 
nameplate to identify minor variations in engine configuration, installation 
components or reduced ratings peculiar to aircraft installation requirements.  
For example:  CFM56-5xx. 
 
Engines that have a suffix to the basic model number are identified in CFM 
International Service Bulletin No. CFM56-5 72-001, and are summarized 
below: 
 
  (1) CFM56-5-A1, basic model for Airbus A320 
 
NOTE 13. The minimum permissible idle in flight corresponds to N2=58.8% (8,500 
rpm), which is a non-adjustable limit, preset into the ECU control schedule.

TCDS E29NE             PAGE 7 
 
NOTE 14. During negative-g operation only,  it is permissible to operate below 
minimum oil pressure (13 psid) for a maximum of 10 seconds.  See Specific 
Operating Instructions , Section 6. 
 
 
NOTE 15. The models shown on this TCDS have the following general characteristics: 
 
MODEL  CHARACTERISTICS 
 
CFM56-5  Basic model. 
 
CFM56-5-A1/F Same as CFM56- 5 except EGT limits increased 
  through introduction of hot  section modifications. 
  This model was originally certified as CFM56-5A2, 
  but that designation was changed at the request of 
  the manufacturer. 
 
CFM56-5A3 Same as CFM56-5-A1/F except for increased takeoff 
  thrust rating. 
 
CFM56-5A4 Same as CFM56-5A3 except for reduced thrust 
  takeoff rating and lower EGT limits. 
 
CFM56-5A4/F Same as CFM56-5A3 except for reduced thrust 
  takeoff rating 
 
CFM56-5A5 Same as CFM56-5A3 except for reduced thrust 
  takeoff rating and lower EGT limits. 
 
CFM56-5A5/F Same as CFM56-5A3 except for reduced thrust 
  takeoff rating. 
  
NOTE 16. The CFM56-5, -5-A1/F, -5A3, -5 A4, -5A4/F, -5A5, -5A5/F FADEC series 
engines have been approved to operate with certain faults present in the 
control system, based on satisfaction of 14 CFR Part 33 requirements and 
appropriate engine control system reliability requirements.  FAA approved 
criteria pertaining to dispatch and maintenance requirements for the engine 
control system are specified in GE Document No. GEK 98455, which 
defines the dispatchable configurations and maximum operating intervals. 
 
A control system reliability monitoring program has been established with 
CFMI, as a contingency of the dispatch criteria approval, to ensure that 
overall engine control system and specific component failure rates do not 
exceed the maximum values permitted by the reliability analysis. 
 
NOTE 17. The normal 5 minute takeoff rating may be extended to 10 minutes for 
engine out contingency.
