 Introduction
Any recommendations, limits, thresholds, etc. referenced in this, or any other CFMI
documentation, were developed assuming that the engine, module or component is of
orginal CFMI design and has been maintained in accordance with CFMI approved
documentation and recommendations.

The guidance in this document does not address parts nor repairs supplied by third-party
sources which have not been approved by CFMI.

The previous CFM56-3 Workscope Planning Guide was issued in March 2004. All technical
revisions and/or recommendations will show up in this guide as shaded. The format
change was done to be more consistent with other CFM56 Workscope Planning Guides.

In the last six years, the most significant change in the CFM56-3 Engine Program is the
availability of the Advanced Upgrade (TOW) (Time On-Wing) and Enhanced Performance
kits. These kits introduce new technology materials and 3D Aero HPC that has dramatically
improved the on-wing life capability of the CFM56-3 engine.

The Advanced Upgrade kit first entered service near the end of 2002. By January of 2008
nearly 450 engines had been converted with no Upgrade hardware problems reported.

Advanced Upgrade Kit

The Advanced Upgrade kit is introduced with Service Bulletin 72-1000, and comprises
stages 1 - 8 High Pressure Compressor airfoils and vanes, High Pressure Turbine Blades,
Nozzles and Shrouds, plus control items necessary for proper operation. The compressor
airfoils are similar to the classic design, but the geometry is enhanced by utilization of three
dimensional viscous flow analyses resulting in substantial efficiency gains. VSV actuators
and feedback system are included to optimize core speed and altitude ground starts. An
electrical shunt is provided to correct EGT indication due to laminar flow changes to the
HPT nozzle.

Enhanced Performance Kit

The Enhanced Performance kit is introduced with SB 72-1031 and is comprised of only the
3D Aero HPC. The Enhanced Performance kit requires a new VSV actuator, a new VSV
feedback cable, and new feedback cable attaching hardware.

Enhanced Durability Hardware

The durability improvement HPT blades and HPT shrouds introduced in Service Bulletin 72-
1000 are also available separately through Service Bulletins 72-1022 for the HPT blades and
SB 72-1049 for the HPT shrouds.

 Introduction
Originally CFMI had conservatively claimed that the 3D Aero HPC upgrade would provide a
reduction of 1.2% in fuel burn and a 15°C increase in EGT margin. A substantial numbers of
engines have now been installed on wing. These engines have shown an average
improvement of 1.6% in fuel burn and 23°C in EGT (with EGT shunt incorporated).
Assuming an EGT deterioration rate of 4°C per 1000 cycles (after the first 1000 cycles), this
improvement should increase average cycles on wing entitlement by well over 5000 cycles
for Performance removal causes.

To take maximum advantage of the upgrade kit’s increased EGT margin and HP turbine
durability, the following workscope enhancements are recommended:

Minimum LLP stub life of 15,000 cycles

Fan and Booster Module level inspection and repair
Full combustor repair with dome resizing and thicker TBC applied to the combustion
chamber liners
Fuel nozzle overhaul
Full performance restoration workscope of the Low Pressure Turbine
LPT Stage 1 Nozzle lead edge wrap repair (or replacement of nozzles)
Number 5 oil damped bearing

Other performance, reliability, and durability improvement Service Bulletins are captured
and highlighted in Appendix F of this edition of the Workscope Planning Guide. The goal of
this workscope planning guide is to highlight modifications that are available to improve the
CFM56 engine’s reliability, durability, and time on-wing. Appendix F shows a detailed listing
of the key service bulletins by ATA section with a code defining what type of bulletin it is
(reliability, durability, performance, etc).

The recommendations contained within this Workscope Planning Guide are not intended to
alter the “on-condition” maintenance concept of the CFM56-3 engine, but to optimize the
maintenance performed during each shop visit. These recommendations are directed
towards improving EGT outbound performance margins, the durability of the engine
hardware, as well as the overall reliability of the engine. These are RECOMMENDATIONS
ONLY, and should NOT be interpreted as requirements in addition to those currently
applicable per the operator’s Approved Maintenance Plan.

The Workscope Planning Guide provides an approach for incorporating an “on-condition”

maintenance concept for the CFM56-3 engine. Maintenance planning and the determination
of the correct engine workscope to employ during shop visit should be determined by
actual condition of the hardware in the engine, performance level prior to removal from
wing, and accumulated cycles on the life-limited parts. To perform “on-condition”
maintenance, the installed engine must be trend-monitored for performance, and inspected
on a periodic basis to determine when the engine should be removed and overhauled.

 Introduction
Guidelines for monitoring the performance and health of the installed engine are provided
in Commercial Engine Service Memorandum (CESM) 015. A consolidated listing of the CFMI
recommended inspection and servicing tasks may be found in CESM 005. These
recommendations are based on operation in typical revenue service. For engines operated
in unusual service, or detrimental environmental conditions, the operator should develop a
customized inspection and servicing plan. Procedures and limits for regularly inspecting
the installed engine are in the Aircraft Maintenance Manual provided by the Boeing
Company.

Control and Accessories threshold recommendations (See page 90) are guidelines to be
used to plan maintenance actions and have been established using the combined
knowledge of CFM56-3 overhaul fleet experience and the specific operator’s fleet
experience and needs. In addition to these recommendations, CFM has issued CESM 055,
Revision 1, which provides a condensed source of information on Main Engine Control
Service Bulletins as well as diagnostic testing for addressing specific operational problems.
The threshold recommendations provided in this Workscope Planning Guide are NOT TIME
LIMITS.

The Workscope Planning Guide is not a replacement for any customer, government, or CFM
International controlled publication, including the CFM56-3 engine shop manuals,
component maintenance manuals, service bulletins, etc. This workscope planning guide is
intended to highlight and consolidate the major features of the engine technical
publications into a workable engine management tool with the goal of improving the engine
time between shop visits and reducing maintenance costs, while maintaining the reliability
of the CFM56 engine in service. The responsibility for the production and the assurance of
the quality of the engines/modules produced using this guide are that of the customer.

 Introduction
How to Use the Workscope Planning Guide

The Guide is divided into three workscope levels for each module: minimum workscope,
performance workscope, and full workscope. When using these different levels, it must be
recognized that they build on each other. For example, a full workscope of an engine must
include items from the minimum and performance workscopes. The controls and
accessories are organized in one section of the Guide with both minimum and full
workscope levels defined together.

The level of workscope to be performed on an engine inducted into the shop is dependent
on the removal cause, time accumulated on the engine modules, observed hardware
conditions, trend data at removal, and customer goals.

 General Workscope Recommendations
CFM56-3 operating experience has shown that the cost of engine operation may be
optimized by extending the time/cycles between shop visits. Controlling the type and
extent of the workscope performed at overhaul is the area where the operator is best able
to influence the time an engine remains on wing before overhaul is required.

Preparation of a workscope for an incoming engine is critical to assuring a cost effective

maintenance program. The first step of this process is defining the current condition of the
engine. Without a proper assessment of the engine condition at removal, the workscope
might not adequately address adverse engine conditions that may exist that could result in
a premature return to the shop. The second step is establishing outbound goals for the
engine that meet or exceed the desired on-wing life. Ignoring this second step (defining
outbound goals for the engine) may result in addressing a specific engine problem while
failing to produce an engine that meets operator on-wing life expectations. Achieving or
exceeding the on-wing goal is the mark of a successful workscope and will pay dividends
in lower overall operating costs.

Factors which help define the present condition of an engine include the removal cause
(high vibration, bearing failure, over-temperature, performance deterioration, etc.), time and
cycles accumulated since last engine shop visit, performance trend analysis, observed
hardware conditions, on-wing operational and maintenance history, cycle-limited parts,
and inbound test run results. These should all be considered when establishing the level
of workscope to be performed.

Outbound goals should be established to enhance on-wing longevity, and must take into
account several time/cycle factors. These include the determination of a minimum stub life
for cycle-limited parts, minimum performance margin based on a calculated on-wing life
goal, and reliability/durability improvements, which will ease the on-wing inspection burden
to the operator, while enhancing the reliability of the engine.

The graph below clearly shows that the on-wing life of the CFM56-3 engine has steadily
improved over the years as a result of the introduction of performance retention
improvements, reliability enhancements, and improved workscoping decisions. In 2008,
there were ~24 CFM56-3 engines that had their first shop visit after an average of 24,600
hours in-service. CFM56-3 ESN 725-800 set a new world record for time on-wing, achieving
40,729 hours before it was removed for customer convenience.

Year - Month

Engines through a shop visit are averaging approximately 8,800 hours between shop visits.
Currently, over 73% of all mature engine shop visits (SV #2+) are caused by LLP and/or
performance deterioration.

The chart below shows the fleet data for a 12-month span for PSE cause versus the time at
which the engine was removed. It is important to note that the engines removed for
performance may not have had all of the performance retention improvements
incorporated, and as a result, most likely did not achieve their on-wing entitlement. In
addition, there were some engines removed a very short time after shop visit, indicating
that the quality of the workscope, quality of the work performed, or the quality of the
removal decision (short time after shop visit) is in question. Note that there are many low
time LLP removals, indicating that the decision to not replace the low time LLP hardware
on the engine at the last shop visit may have been in error.

Engine workscoping has a direct impact on the engine time on-wing. This includes proper
selection of level of module penetration and refurbishment, Service Bulletin incorporation
(reliability, performance retention, and durability improvements), and establishment of the
proper stub life requirements for specific engine operation. Improved shop practices,
workscoping, outbound EGT margins, reduced EGT Deterioration rates, etc., will result in
CFM56-3 engine on-wing entitlement improvement (amount of time the engine is capable of
staying on-wing for performance).

When making LLP stub life decisions, recognize that a full performance workscope is
capable of resulting in 30-45 degrees C outbound EGT margin (B1 high altitude, B2, C1)
depending on the engine model. Based on typical performance deterioration after
overhaul, engines should be capable of staying on-wing for 6,000 to 10,000 cycles (for
performance removal causes), based on a 1.4 hour flight leg, at normal derate, with
performance retention and reliability improvements incorporated. This is shown in the
chart below:

From time to time, it may make sense to perform a minimum workscope to better utilize the
LLPs. For example, an engine visits the shop at 16,000 cycles to replace an HPT Disk
limited at 16,300 (B1). In this case, it may be cost effective to perform a hot section
workscope, change out the HPT Disk, restore the HPT Blade tip clearance and 4-tooth seal,
and put the engine out for 4000 additional cycles. At 20,000 cycles, the engine will be
removed for LLP (core hardware limited at 20,000 cycles). The entire core LLP (minus the
HPT aft shaft and HPT disk) must be retired at this point. Performing the hot section
workscope should provide adequate EGT margin (at a low shop visit cost) to push the
engine out to 20,000 cycles.

To improve the cost effectiveness of the maintenance program, it is important to match

LLP Stub Life with the amount of EGT Margin that is restored to the engine. A good engine
workscope is an engine that is removed for LLP and Performance simultaneously.

 General Workscope Recommendations
The following are general guidelines for determining the specific level of workscope
recommended for achieving desired levels of engine performance.

Minimum Workscope Level

Engines inducted into the shop with low time since last overhaul, possessing sufficient
performance margins, and that were removed for a known cause, can have this level of
work and inspections performed. This level highlights preventive maintenance and helps
identify if additional levels of the workscope are required.

Performance Workscope Level

The high reliability of the CFM56-3 engine means that most engines are staying on wing for
extended periods of time, and when inducted into the overhaul shop will require a
performance workscope. To determine if a performance workscope is required, use the
following guidelines:

•Engines with less than 10°C EGT margin on incoming test

•Engines trending at an ADEPT delta EGT of plus 40

•Engines with deteriorated performance without a specific source of the loss

•Engines removed for slow acceleration

To obtain the maximum time between shop visits with the resultant lower Cost per Engine
Flight Hour, the complete core should be restored (both the HPT and HPC). Experience is
showing that it is not cost-effective to refurbish the fan/booster and LPT unless they are
being disassembled for cause.

Full Workscope Level

This workscope level applies when the module needs to be disassembled for LLP or other
hardware causes. Only the workscope items pertaining to the hardware exposed need to
be completed. At this time, all priority service bulletins should be complied with, and
customer option bulletins evaluated.

An operator should establish the remaining life goals for each module depending on
operational requirements. It may prove cost-effective to replace LLP hardware at this time,
although cycles may remain in their life.

High Priority Service Bulletins

To assist the operator with the determination of the important service bulletins to consider
at a shop visit, a list of the high priority Service Bulletins has been developed. Although
customer option or spare part release bulletins are not shown on this list, they should also
be reviewed from the complete listing in Appendix F for applicability.

 General Workscope Recommendations
How to Use Influence Coefficients:

The CFM56-3 Influence Coefficients listed in this Workscope Planning Guide have been
developed over the years through a combination of Diagnostic Engine Testing, Analytical
Performance Analysis, and Development Engine Testing. The coefficients are an
estimation of the flowpath clearance effects on the performance level of the CFM56 engine.
Note that the coefficients are the same between the different engine lines.

In the 1987-1988 time period, CFMI performed extensive diagnostic engine testing on a
CFM56-3 engine. The engine had approximately 30 back-to-back tests, where modules in
the engine were changed, one at a time. Performance data from these engine builds were
analyzed and influence coefficients assigned. In addition, a development engine, equipped
with a clearance-o-meter in the HPT Shroud (to measure the effect of the blade tip
clearance on EGT Margin), was run in different modes (5th stage, 9th stage, mixed) and
performance was measured. The data from this testing reinforced the findings from the
Diagnostic Engine testing.

“Cost Effective” performance restoration workscoping requires an ability to determine

what areas of the engine, if worked on, have the most potential for regaining EGT and SFC
levels. Approximate delta levels can be ascertained by comparing inbound parameters (i.e.
rub depths/clearances, and part surface finishes) against the values typically experienced
following test cell break-in and performance runs. In the following tables, we have termed
these break-in values “Post Break-In” and are therefore considered in effect as zero
deterioration. By computing the difference between inbound measured values and these
baseline post break-in values, then multiplying that value by the appropriate influence
coefficient, the contributing losses for that particular feature can be book-kept.

For seal teeth clearances, use the average clearance of the seal teeth (three or four tooth
average).

HPT nozzle flatness should be an average of the nozzle segment to nozzle segment
differences.

HPC Blade Erosion –

None: Implies that no blades fall out for chord and the L/E is smooth

Medium: Implies that a portion fall out for chord at shop visit, some L/E roughness

Heavy: Implies that most blades fall out for chord at shop visit, L/E is rough

Note that the influence coefficients are an approximation of the effects and not an absolute
value. They are intended to serve only as a guideline to the expected performance effect
on a specific feature.

HPT Module Assembly 72-00-02 [PERFORMANCE] Reference

• To maintain roundness and concentricity of the HPT assembly, the following
tooling must be used and periodically inspected to insure tooling integrity of
major interface dimensions:

- HPT rotor-to-combustion case centering fixture for inspection of 856A1041

interface dimensions and linipot clearance determination. Critical for
CDP bore runout check.

- Module 12 installation fixture to insure correct HPT clearance by 856A1240

centering the module on the HPT shroud support T-flange aft rabbet
diameter. Improper tooling conditions can create HPT blade rubs and
effect linipot inspection results.

• When installing the HPT shroud support assembly to the combustion case, 72-00-02
assure that the 28 T-flange bolts are tightened prior to torquing the
combustion case midflange bolts

• Perform linipot inspections in both the vertical and horizontal positions. If 72-00-02
linipot values are not obtained, troubleshoot to correct the problem. Special

Special Test Requirements - General

A. Test cell must be equipped with isolation soft forward and aft engine mounts and a fan nozzle in which area
is capable of being increased.

B. A not-to-exceed guideline of 6 mils vibration should be used during all running to prevent unnecessary rubs
and performance loss.

C. HPT clearance control timer (if installed) must be deactivated for all testing. Engine damage may occur if
timer is activated in the incorrect sequence.

D. The following vibration guidelines are recommended to reduce installed engine maintenance intervention
due to: 1) cabin noise, 2) vibration/rumble complaints, and 3) performance deterioration:

HP System: 1.3 ips on both No. 1 bearing and TRF

LP System: 2.5 mils on No. 1 bearing up to 4,900 rpm

3.5 mils on No. 1 bearing above 4,900 rpm
2.5 mils on TRF up to 4,900 rpm

 APPENDIX B

CFM56-3 Recommended Test Cell Procedure for Full Performance Build Workscope

Note: If deviations to these recommendations are considered for special testing or other reasons, contact
CFMI for review to avoid unexpected adverse engine effects.

1. Follow shop manual procedures. The following comments highlight special testing concerns:

2. Air motor engine, while observing starter limitations:

• Start: If the engine has been restarted within two hours of previous operation, air motor the
engine for approximately 90†seconds prior to the start sequence.

• Shutdown: After core coast-down, air motor the engine for a minimum of two minutes. If the
engine is still above 100°C, continue to air motor to under 100°C EGT.

3. 5,100 rpm high-speed vibration survey should not be performed on engines with No. 5 oil-damped bearing
installed.

4. Stall testing should not be performed for fully refurbished engines. (Include for partially refurbished
engines and especially for continue-timed HP compressors.)

5. Eliminate throttle burst other than those specified in the shop manual.

6. Eliminate additional high power running other than those specified in the shop manual. Avoid:

• CFM56-3-B1, CFM56-3B-2, and CFM56-3C performance points during the same test
• Added time at power, especially M/C and takeoff.

7. If the engine is shut down after the 30-second accel/decel during testing, perform the following warm-up on
restart (provides adequate warm-up and stabilization prior to taking performance points):

• Start engine.
• Hold at minimum idle (M/I, ground idle) for five minutes.
• One minute accel to M/C, hold for five minutes.
• One minute decel to M/I, hold for five minutes (if the next step is to hold at M/I for five minutes, then
limit total time at M/I to five minutes).

8. Limit time at M/C to five minutes just prior to takeoff performance point during performance test.

• Previous requirement was 10 minutes at M/C if engine was shut down.

• Warm-up requirements (defined in Step 7) reduces 10 minutes M/C shop manual requirement to five
minutes.
