LIFE LIMITS OF ROTATING ENGINE PARTS

1. General.

A. The FAA has approved service life-limit cycles (Airworthiness

Limitations) for rotating parts installed in the CF34-1A/-3A/-3A2
turbofan engines.

B. This chapter identifies engine parts that are life-limited as a result

of exposures to operating cycles or hours. It explains how to calculate
life-limit cycles to allow the operator to determine the number of
cycles at which a part must be removed from service.

C. Rotating parts of all turbine engines have some type of service limits.
Critical rotating parts are those parts whose sudden failure could
threaten the structural integrity of the engine. These parts, when
subjected to large repeated and/or alternating stresses, can fail
through fatigue. The material properties of a part are depleted by
fatigue as a function of the number of stress cycles the part
experiences. Stress cycles of turbine engine rotating parts result from
the transients of engine speed and temperatures occurring during normal
engine operation. Therefore, the life-limit cycles provide the operator
with a means of tracking the useful service life of a part so that the
part can be removed from service before possible fatigue failure. These
life-limits are usually expressed in terms of cycles, and can be
related almost directly to the number of stress cycles that occur
during engine operation. It is for this reason that the limits are in
terms of cycles.

D. Life limits of the critical rotating parts are established through

analysis and testing. Accumulated cycles are compared to the life
limits to determine if the affected hardware is still serviceable. No
component must be permitted to remain in service beyond its life-limit
cycles. Refer to paragraph 2.A. for the definition of a cycle.

E. There are two methods (refer to paragraph 2.E.) available for counting
life-limit cycles; a primary method and an alternate method:

(1) The primary method is simpler than the alternate method, and is
appropriate for most aircraft operators.

NOTE: High-utilization operators are defined as operators whose

mission requirements generate higher than normal touch-and-go
landings, missed approaches, or landings without an engine
shutdown.

(2) The alternate method is recommended for high-utilization

operators because it provides cycle counts more representative of
their type of aircraft usage.

(3) The overall cycle counts using the alternate method will be lower
than the primary method cycle counts because the alternate method
differentiates between stresses experienced in different mission
operations. The primary method does not make this distinction as
it is of little benefit in general aircraft use.

F. GE Aircraft Engines has completed extensive testing of the engine and

its components to provide the basis for the establishment of life limit
cycles. GE Aircraft Engines will continue testing and will revise this
chapter when life-limit changes are justified and when substantiating
data has been approved by the FAA.

G. Life-limited parts must be removed from service before or as soon as

the life-limit of that part (as established by this chapter) has been
reached.

CAUTION: CERTAIN ROTATING PARTS ARE LIFE-LIMITED BASED ON THE SPECIFIC

APPLICATION FOR WHICH THE PART IS INTENDED. IN SOME CASES,
DIFFERENT LIFE LIMITS HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED F0R IDENTICAL GE
LIFE-LIMITED PARTS FOR DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS (FOR EXAMPLE,
CF34-3A1 VS CF34-3B). ACCORDINGLY, THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS AND
GUIDELINES MUST BE OBSERVED:
• USED LIFE-LIMITED PARTS MUST NOT BE RE-USED, UNLESS THE
HISTORY OF THAT PART IS KNOWN. THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS
INFORMATION FOR DETERMINING EQUIVALENT ACCUMULATED CYCLES VS
THE APPLICATION.
• IF THE APPLICATIONS IN WHICH THE PART HAS OPERATED AND THE
ACCUMULATED TOTAL NUMBER OF CYCLES ARE KNOWN, BUT THE NUMBER
OF CYCLES OPERATED IN EACH APPLICATION ARE NOT KNOWN, THEN
THE LOWEST LIFE LIMIT FOR A GIVEN PART MUST BE APPLIED (REFER
TO PARAGRAPH 2.B, METHOD II). IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
OPERATOR TO MAINTAIN ACCURATE RECORDS OF THE PART OPERATION.

2. Requirements.

A. Definitions.

A cycle is defined as a flight consisting of an engine start, takeoff,

and landing. Use of thrust reverser is not included in this cycle
count. Engine starts and shutdowns for operational checks, ground
maintenance, and taxiing do not count against life-limit cycles, unless
the engine is operated at takeoff fan speed. In that case, it counts as
one cycle. Other operational procedures that affect the life-limit
cycles of rotating parts are counted as follows:

(1) An air start is considered one cycle on rotating parts.

Page 802
Sep 30/98

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
GE Aircraft Engines

(2) When the thrust reverser is used and the throttle is advanced
beyond 70% N2, 1/6 cycle is added to the cycle count of each
rotating part. When the thrust reverser is used, but the throttle
is not advanced beyond 70% N2, no additional cycles are added.

(3) Whenever the throttle is used to set APR power, 2 cycles are
added to the cycle count of each rotating part.

(4) Each flight (takeoff and landing) counts as one cycle regardless
of whether or not the engines are shut down prior to the next
takeoff.

(5) A touch-and-go landing counts as one cycle for each rotating part
when using the primary cycle-counting method.

(6) A go-around counts as 2 cycles for each rotating part if APR

power is set using the throttle during the go-around. If APR
power is not set, the go-around counts as 1 cycle for each
rotating part. This applies for both the primary and the
alternate cycle-counting methods .

(7) If the alternate cycle-counting method is used, additional cycle

counting must be done. For each touch-and-go landing and for each
landing followed by a takeoff with no shutdown, record and
calculate these events as follows:

(a) The engine is divided into three sections for cyclic record
keeping purposes. Maintain a separate cycle count for each
of the following three sections:

Cycle Count for

Touch-and-Go, or
Section Components in Section Landing With No Shutdown

1 Fan, Compressor, and all 1.000

Low-Pressure Turbine (LPT)

(b) In addition to the cycle counts calculated in step (a),

also count the following cycles for each of the three
sections (refer to Sample Calculations in paragraph E, step
(3)(b) for an example):
• ONE CYCLE PER FLIGHT FOR THE NORMAL MISSION.
• ONE CYCLE PER AIR START.
• ONE-SIXTH CYCLE (0.167) EACH TIME THE THRUST REVERSER IS
ACTIVATED ABOVE 70% N2.
• TWO CYCLES EACH TIME THE THROTTLE IS USED TO SET APR
POWER.

B. Calculating Cycle Count For Common CF34 Engine Parts That Are
Transferred Between Different CF34 Engine Models.

(1) The different CF34 engine models have a number of life-limited

parts that are common (have the same part number). Some of these
common parts also have the same life limits when transferred
between the different engine models. However, because the engine
model series experience different operating environments, the
life limits of some of the common parts may differ when used in
different CF34 models.

(2) When a common life-limited part is transferred from one CF34

engine model series to another, it will be necessary to calculate
equivalent accumulated cycles for the part, taking into account
the application (engine model) in which the part has operated, if
the life of the part differs between engine models. All
applicable information should be entered into the CF34 common
life-limited parts tracking form (refer to table 801). The
completed tracking form must be returned with the applicable
common parts when those parts are transferred between different
CF34 model series. The operator must get from GEAE, or from a GE
authorized CF34 overhaul facility, the life limits for each CF34
model applicable to the components service history.

(3) Two methods are available to establish the total life limit for
life-limited parts that are used in more than one CF34 engine
model:

CAUTION: METHOD II MUST BE APPLIED, UNLESS THE NUMBER OF CYCLES

OPERATED IN EACH ENGINE MODEL IS KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OPERATOR TO MAINTAIN
ACCURATE RECORDS OF THE PART OPERATION.

(a) Method I:

If the number of cycles accumulated on one CF34 model is

accurately known and documented, the fraction of life
consumed can be calculated and used to determine the
remaining cyclic life in a different CF34 model.

First, calculate the fraction of life used for a part

installed in a given CF34 model, then calculate the
equivalent cycles since new (CSN) for the part installed in
a different CF34 model; use this procedure:

1 Calculate the fraction of life used for a part

installed in initial CF34 model as follows:

Cycles accumulated
Fraction of life = on CF34 model 1
used LCF limit for
CF34 model 1

2 Use this fraction to calculate the equivalent CSN on

the part, if installed in another different CF34 model
(model 2)as follows:

Equivalent CSN = Fraction of X LCF limit for

for life used CF34 model 2
CF34 model 2

3 Determine the cycles remaining on the part installed in

CF34 model 2 as follows:

Cycles remaining = LCF limit _ Equivalent CSN

CF34 model 2 for CF34 for CF34 model
model 2 2

4 Example 1:

Consider a part with LCF limits in two different CF34

models as follows:

CF34 Model 1 LCF limit = 15,000 cycles

CF34 Model 2 LCF limit = 20,000 cycles

The part accumulates 6,000 cycles while installed in

one CF34 model (model 1), and then will be installed in
a different CF34 model (model 2). Calculate the
equivalent CSN for the part installed in CF34 model 2,
and determine how many LCF cycles remain, as follows:

Fraction of life used = 6,000 = 0.04

while installed in CF34 15,000
model 1

Equivalent CSN for

CF34 model 2 = 0.40 x 20,000 = 8,000 cycles

Cycles remaining on
the part installed = 20,000 - 8,000 = 12,000 cycles
in CF34 model 2

5 Example 2:

Consider a part with LCF limits in three different

CF34 models as follows:
Model 1 LCF limit = 12,000 cycles
Model 2 LCF limit = 27,000 cycles
Model 3 LCF limit = 20,000 cycles

The part accumulates 6,000 cycles while installed in

one CF34 model (model 1), in addition to 4,000 cycles
installed in a second CF34 model (model 2). The part is
planned to be installed in a third CF34 model
(model 3). Calculate the equivalent CSN for the part
installed in CF34 model 3, and determine how many LCF
cycles remain as follows:

Cycles accumulated Cycles accumulated

Fraction of = on CF34 model 1 + on CF34 model 2
life used LCF limit for LCF limit for
model 1 model 2

Fraction of
life used = 6,000 + 4,000 = 0.65
12,000 27,000

Equivalent
CSN for model 3 = 0.65 x 20,000 = 13,000 cycles

Cycles remaining for

the part installed
in CF34 model 3 = 20,000 - 13,000 = 7,000 cycles

(b) Method II:

If the applications in which the part has operated and the

total number of cycles accumulated are known, but the
number of cycles operated in each application are not
known, the lowest life limit for a given limit for a given
part must be applied (as shown below) when calculating
fraction of life consumed and cyclic life remaining. This
method requires maintaining only records of the total
number of cycles on the part in any CF34 model and the
engine models in which the part has been used.

1 Calculate the fraction of life used for a part

installed in initial CF34 model as follows:

Fraction of life used = Total cycles accumulated

Lowest published life of
all models in which the
part has operated

2 Use this fraction to calculate the equivalent CSN on

the part, if installed in another different CF34
(model 2) as follows:

Equivalent CSN for = Fraction of X LCF limit for

CF34 model 2 life used CF34 model 2

3 Determine the cycles remaining on the part installed in

CF34 model 2 as follows:

Cycles remaining = LCF limit for - Equivalent CSN

for CF34 model 2 CF34 model 2 for CF34 model 2

4 Example 3: Consider a part with lCF limits in two

different CF34 models as follows:
CF34 Model 1 LCF limit = 15,000 cycles
CF34 Model 2 LCF limit = 20,000 cycles

The part has accumulated 5,000 cycles total while

installed for some period of time on CF34 model 1, and
for some period of time on CF34 model 2. The part will
now be installed in CF34 model 2. Calculate the
equivalent CSN and cycles that remain for the part
installed in CF34 model 2.

The lowest published life on the part (15,000 cycles)

must be applied in the calculations because it is not
known exactly how many cycles the part accumulated
while installed in each engine model.

Cycles remaining on
the part installed = 20,000 - 6,600 = 13,400 cycles
in CF34 model 2

C. Affected Components.

CAUTION: THE LIFE-LIMITED PARTS DEFINED IN THIS SECTION MUST NOT BE

OPERATED BEYOND THE ESTABLISHED LIMITS.

The engine components that are life-limited by this section are the
following:
• Fan Rotor Components (refer to 5-11-01).
• Compressor Rotor Components (refer to 5-11-02).
• High-Pressure Turbine Rotor Components (refer to 5-11-03).
• Low-Pressure Turbine Rotor Components (refer to 5-11-04).
• Additional Life Limits (Non-LCF) (refer to 5-11-05).

D. Cycles Recording.

(1) The operator is responsible for maintaining an accurate record of

cycles experienced during engine operation. The operator must
also monitor the status of the parts to ensure that none of the
parts listed in paragraph C exceed the established life-limit
cycles.

(2) The CF34 Turbofan Engine Service Record book provides forms for
recording the cycle history of the engine.

(3) The operator and/or the Service or Overhaul Facility is

responsible for making appropriate engine logbook entries to
reflect changes in components.

E. Sample Calculations for Primary and Alternate Life-Cycle Counting

Methods.

(1) Chapters 5-11-01 through 5-11-05 provide cycle limits which must
be used to establish the continued serviceability of components.
Step (2) shows an example of the primary life-cycle counting
method, and step (3) shows an example of the alternate life-cycle
counting method.

(2) Examples of primary life-cycle counting method:

(a) During a flight, the operator makes an air start on the

right-hand engine, lands using the thrust reverser, and
shuts down the engines. During the thrust reverser
operation, the throttles are advanced above 70% N2.

Cycle count right-hand engine: 1 normal mission

1 air start
1/6 thrust reverser
2-1/6 total

Cycle count left-hand engine: 1 normal mission

1/6 thrust reverser
1-1/6 total

(b) The operator starts the engines, takes off, and lands using
the thrust reverser followed by engine shutdown. The
operator makes a second takeoff and landing using the
thrust reverser, but does not shut down the engines. The
operator then makes a third takeoff and landing without
using the thrust reversers. The throttles were advanced
beyond 70% N2 during the thrust reverser operation. The
operator then makes a power assurance check at takeoff fan
speed.

Cycle count left-hand and right-hand engines:

Flight plus Reverser and Shutdown 1-1/6 cycles

Flight plus Reverser and no Shutdown 1-1/6 cycles
Flight with No Reverser and Shutdown 1 cycle
Power Assurance Check and Shutdown 1 cycle
4-1/3 cycles

(3) Examples of alternate life-cycle counting method:

(a) An operator starts the engines, takes off, and experiences

a missed approach and a touch-and-go before landing and
does not shut down the engines. The operator makes a second
takeoff, and during the flight makes an air start on the
right-hand engine. The operator then experiences two more
missed approaches and another touch-and-go before making a
second landing, and again does not shut down the engines.
The operator then makes a third takeoff, and during the
flight makes an air start on the left-hand engine. The
operator lands using the thrust reversers with throttle
advanced beyond 70% N2 and shuts down the engines.

4. Scheduled Inspection Checks.

A. Preliminary Instructions.

(1) The inspection time categories in table 803 are divided into six
inspection intervals: Preflight or Postflight, 100-hour, 300-
hour, 600-hour, 1200-hour, and 3000-hour inspection intervals.
The checks in these intervals indicate the minimum inspection
requirements for satisfactory inspection compliance.

(2) Visually inspect the engine components for the appropriate

Inspection Time Categories.

(3) When the condition of an engine part can not be determined, refer
to the inspection limits that apply to the individual part, in
the applicable inspection table in this manual.

(4) The oil filter must be inspected for contamination (refer to

79-00-00, INSPECTION) when:

 There has been an indication of oil impending bypass.

 The oil filter or the engine has reached its time category
interval.
 The engine has been overhauled.

B. Daily Checks (Preflight or Postflight).

(1) Use a flashlight and visually inspect the engine inlet and
exhaust areas (with the duct covers removed) for the conditions
listed in table 803.

(2) Inspect the ground surface area and any aircraft surfaces in the
immediate vicinity of the engine inlets for foreign debris.

Inspec- tion Time Categories.

D. Mid-Point (3000-Hour) Hot Section Inspection Interval.

(1) Inspect the engine components listed in table 803 for the inspec-
tion time category at 3000 hours. Disassemble the engine to the
extent that the combustion liner can be inspected (remove only
the engine components necessary to access the combustion liner,
and be sure that all turbine parts are matchmarked before you
remove them).

(2) After you remove the necessary airframe QEC parts, disassemble
the engine in the sequence given in table 804 (refer to the
paragraph titled "On-Aircraft Maintenance and Inspection of Hot
Section" in 72-00-00, SPECIAL MAINTENANCE PRACTICES), for the
procedures to inspect the Hot Section components.

NOTE:  The swirler assemblies are replaced when the combustion

liner is reworked.
 The combustion liner PN 6052T10G01 (SN GGMDP906) and up, do
not require rework.

(3) Inspect the combustion liner, exposed carbon seals, and seal
runners (refer to 72-40-00 and 72-50-00, INSPECTION).

(4) Do the following for these combustion liners:

 If the combustion liner is PN 6036T69G05 or PN 6052T10G01,

return it to an authorized GE Aircraft Engines overhaul facil-
ity for rework. Do not return combustion liner PN 6052T10G01
with SN GGMDP906 and up (this liner does not require rework).
 Combustion liner PN 6036T69G05 must be reworked to PN
5921T51G01.
 Combustion liner PN 6052T10G01 (other than SN GGMDP906 and up)
must be reworked to PN 5921T51G02.

(5) Inspect the transition case for missing hard coat on the slots
and inspect the transition outer liner for missing hard coat on
the lugs (refer to 72-50-00, INSPECTION). Inspect the removed
parts as required in the sections of this manual.

Q. Do an engine overhaul
every 6000 hours (refer
to SEI-582); also, refer
to Notes 1 through 6 at
the end of this table.
Also, refer to item O.

NOTE: 1. An additional 10%, or 45 hours, whichever is less (per interval), is

allowed to provide operators with scheduling flexibility beyond the
fixed limits established above.

2. For the basic engine, the mid-point inspection interval (3000 hours),
or overhaul (6000 hours), is determined by the hours. Cycle lives,
referenced in Chapter 5-11-00, must not be exceeded prior to reaching
the hourly inspection limit.

3. All cycle limits are given in Chapter 5-11-00.

4. A complete borescope inspection of the engine must be done every

3000 hours or 10 years TSN/TSO (Time Since Overhaul), whichever occurs
first (refer to 72-00-00, INSPECTION for the borescope inspections;
except, do not borescope-inspect the PTO assembly, and the inspections
for Troubleshooting Purposes do not apply).

5. The overhaul of accessories, at the time of engine overhaul, is

recommended by GE Aircraft Engines. However, this is an option
of the operator.

6. GE Aircraft Engines will permit a one time extension of the Hot

Section Inspection Interval after you (the operator) complete
SB 72-53. Operators who comply with SB 72-53 before or concurrent
with Hot Section Inspection (2000-3000 hours TSN), and accomplish
a Hot Section Inspection while complying with SB 72-53, will be
permitted to operate the engine to its 6000-hour overhaul point
without performing a second Hot Section Inspection before overhaul.
If the engine has more than 3000 hours, SB 72-53 does not apply and
you must obey the Hot Section Inspection Intervals in this Chapter.

Chapters referenced in table 805 for the inspection requirements.

B. Piece-part exposure is defined as follows:

(1) For engines that utilize the “On Condition” maintenance

requirements:

The part is considered completely disassembled when done in

accordance with the disassembly instructions in the GEAE engine
authorized overhaul Shop Manual and:

The part has accumulated more than 100 cycles in service since
the last piece-part opportunity inspection and the part is
returned to the overhaul facility, provided that the part was not
damaged or related to the cause for its removal from the engine.
