B. These instructions do not purport to cover all details or variations in

equipment nor to provide for every possible contingency to be met in
connection with installation, operation or maintenance. Should further
information be desired or particular problems arise which are not
covered sufficiently for purchaser's purpose, contact CFM International
Product Support.

C. The manual provides the information required for maintenance and

refurbishment of the CFM56-3 engine, and is structured to fit the
engine's modular design. It is organized to cover two types of
maintenance - Condition Maintenance and Complete Restoration. This

INTRO

 CFM56-3

has been accomplished by using the Chapter/Section/Unit numbers (ATA

numbers) to link the two types of maintenance together.

In case of complete disassembly of major components, such as Frames,

Casings, Rotating Parts, Bearings, and combustors; these parts must be
processed to all requirements specified in the applicable component
sections of the manual, or in accordance with the applicable customers'
approved maintenance program.

All technical data documentation and information contained here in, with
respect to assembly and disassembly, cleaning, inspection methods and
limits, repairmethods and limits,operational limits, life limits and
the like, have been developed and approved for use with CFM engines
and parts which have been maintained in accordance with CFM technical
documentation and recommendations. Based on CFM's lack of knowledge and
lack of responsibility for parts CFM does not manufacture, CFM is unable
to as certain to what extent, if any, CFM's technical documentation and
related information apply to third party-manufactured parts and repairs
as well as CFM-manufactured parts that are directly or indirectly
affected by such third party-manufactured parts and repairs.

D. Observe standard shop practice, safety procedures, and precautionary

measures at all times to prevent engine part damage or personal injury

2. Rotating Parts Time Limits

A. Time limits for engine rotating parts are located in Chapter 05.

3. Revision Service

A. An Engine Manual, once issued, will be kept current by revision service

throughout the service life of the engine. When new or revised data is
available, the manufacturer will issue a revision on a revision cycle
deemed appropriate to meet the needs of the operators.

B. In order to bridge the gaps between revision cycles and to provide a

rapid and convenient means of calling attention to immediately required
technical instructions, operating limits, or life cycle information,
there will be two methods of communicating this data: a Temporary
Revision or an Incremental Change.

(1) The Temporary Revision (TR) will be initiated for changes that may
affect safety issues, and for changes that affect the airworthiness
limitation section (time limits). TR's are considered Instructions
for Continued Airworthiness, and can be found on the CFM Web portal.
TR's must be downloaded and incorporated into an engine/component
overhaul plan. TR's will be incorporated into the next scheduled
revision of the Engine Manual.

INTRO

 CFM56-3

(2) The Incremental Change (IC) will be initiated for all other
changes to the Engine Manual. IC's are considered Instructions for
Continued Airworthiness, and can be found on the CFM Web portal.
IC's must be downloaded and incorporated into an engine/component
overhaul plan. IC's will be incorporated into the next scheduled
revision of the Engine Shop Manual.

4. Organization of Manual.

A. General.

(1) The manual provides power plant, basic engine and exhaust hardware
data, prepared in separate chapter/section booklets, with each
booklet having its own Title Page, List of Effective Pages and Table
of Contents. Recommended standard practices and engine accessory
data are contained in separate CFMI publications defined in later
paragraphs.

(2) The information in this manual has been collated by Chapter-Section-

Subject number which places all the ATA 2200 information concerning
a part in consecutive order. By this method an individual part or
assembly is provided with a set of information in the form of an
individual overhaul manual section chapter booklet.

NOTE: If the user desires to have the manual organized in

functional order, it can be collated by grouping the
functions together; that is, all INSPECTION pages together,
all REPAIR pages together, etc.

B. Chapter/Section Numbering. See (Ref.figure 1).

(1) The ATA Specification 2200, 3-element (6-digit) numbering system

is used in this manual to identify the engine or systems chapter
(element one), engine section or major assemblies (element two)
and engine subjects, subassemblies or detail piece parts (element
three).

(2) Element Coverage. (Example 72-30-00).

(a) The first element (first two digits, 72) identifies the ATA
Chapter. In this case, Chapter 72 is the basic engine.

(b) The second element (second two digits, 30) identifies an engine
section such as the Fan or High Pressure Compressor. Here, 30
designates the High Pressure Compressor Section. This second
element can be further broken down into section assemblies by
changing its second digit. For example: 31 is the Compressor
Rotor Assembly, and 32 is the Compressor Front Stator Assembly.

INTRO

© CFM PROPRIETARY INFORMATION : Subject to the restrictions on the cover or first page
 CFM56-3

(c) The third element (third two digits, 00, 01, 02, etc.)
identifies individual subjects or units (subsystems,
sub-assemblies, piece parts, etc.) within an engine section.
When double zero (00) is used as the third element, it indicates
coverage of the complete chapter designations or the entire
section./module. Numbers 01 and up, in element three, indicate
a part of the major component identified by the second element
section number. For example: 01 is the Compressor Rotor Blades
- Stage 1; 02 is the Compressor Rotor Blades - Stage 2.

(3) Section/Subject Numbering Rules.

(a) The engine section or subject number can be located in either

the second or third element position, as shown below, depending
upon the level of maintenance being performed.

FIRST ELEMENT SECOND ELEMENT THIRD ELEMENT COVERAGE

CHAPTER SECTION MODULE SUBJECT DETAIL -
PART

72- 00- 00 Information applicable for

removal and installation of

NOTE: Condition Maintenance inspections are not used when complete disassembly of
the module is required or scheduled. In case of complete disassembly, the
individual parts or units must be processed to all requirements specified in
the applicable component section of the manual

72- 00- 31 Information applicable for

removal and installation of
basic module, or for work
on module while module is
installed on engine.

to complete or partial
disassembly and assembly
of basic engine module with
module removed from engine and
on bench.

72- 31- xx Work being accomplished on

a unit or detail part after
removal from basic module.
(b) When the module number is located in the third element position,
it leaves 72-00 in the first two elements, which denotes
work being performed on the complete engine. This provides a
location for work performed on the module while it is installed
on the engine, as well as for information applicable to removal
and installation of the module.

C. Page Numbering.

Within each Chapter/Section/Subject area, information is arranged in

individual page blocks as outlined below. The pages are numbered
consecutively starting with the first page number in the page blocks
i.e., Page 1, Page 101, Page 201, etc.

(1) List of Page Function and Numbers.

• Function Page Blocks

• Description and Operation............... 1 - 99
• Fault Isolation......................... 101 - 199
• Special Procedures...................... 201 - 299
• Removal................................. 301 - 399
• Installation............................ 401 - 499

• Storage................................. 1201 - 1299
• Testing................................. 1301 - 1399
• Rework.................................. 1401 - 1499

(2) Page Function Numbering. Groups of pages (or page blocks) are
consecutively numbered using the page numbers (and their related
functions) as described above. However, to minimize the length and
complexity of certain procedures, the functions themselves can also
be numbered to further subdivide these page blocks into stand alone
procedures. This is accomplished by adding a numerical suffix to
the affected function. For example: Repair 001, Repair 002, Repair
003, or Testing 001, Testing 002, etc.

(3) Figure Numbering.

INTRO
PAGE 08
DEC 15/2020
© CFM PROPRIETARY INFORMATION : Subject to the restrictions on the cover or first page
 CFM56-3

All illustrations and tables are assigned figure numbers within each
page block. Figures are assigned consecutively, starting with the
same number as the first page number. For example, if the section
starts with Page 301, the first figure number will be 301.

NOTE: Tabular data which is not assigned an illustration number is

not called a figure, but may be numbered as a table in the
same way that figures are numbered within each respective
page block.

(4) Revisions.

The Engine Manual is prepared as separate chapter/section booklets.

Individual pages within these sections will be furnished as
replacements when data is revised. Pages with revised data will
have a revision indicator (a revision bar)at the left margin in
alignment with revised text. When data is added or deleted,
existing data can move to a different page and if the new page
location is otherwise unchanged a bar will appear at the data line
level only. Deleted data is indicated by a barat one of four
locations: (1) if part of the data was deleted from a line, the
bar will appear next to that same line; (2) if an entire line is
deleted from the body of a paragraph a bar will appear next to the
succeeding line; (3) if the last line was deleted a bar will appear
next to the preceding line; and (4) if an entire paragraph or block
of data or a figure was deleted or moved,a bar will appear next to
a blank line where the data originally appeared. Highlights of
revisions are provided in front of the title page of each chapter.

5. Technical Data Content - General.

A. Grouping of Information.

(1) This shop manual groups all information relevant to a specific

engine module. For example, all information pertaining to the
Compressor Rotor Assembly, Compressor Front Stator Assembly, or
Compressor Rear Stator Assembly are each given their own tab divided
section. Within each section the shop-oriented page blocks address
all maintenance actions to be performed in the shop.

(2) The information in this manual has been collated by Chapter/Sec-

tion/Subject number and as such has all the information concerning
a part in consecutive order. By this method an individual part
or assembly is provided with a set of information in the form of
an individual booklet. If the user desires the manual in the
functional order, the manual can be collated by grouping the
functions together, i.e. all Inspection/Check pages together, all
Cleaning pages together, etc.

B. Reference to Standard Practices.

INTRO
PAGE 09
DEC 15/2020

 CFM56-3

Processes or procedures that are used many times, and are standard CFMI
processes or procedures, will be found in a separate task numbered
manual; Chapter 70, Standard Practices.

C. Reference to Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC).

Catalog figure and item numbers (catalog sequence numbers) are

referenced in the Engine Shop Manual to facilitate part identification.

(1) These catalog sequence numbers (CSN) are shown in an exploded view
of each assembly or module. The illustration contains item numbers
assigned to each part and are the same as those found in the IPC.
Each illustration is identified in the lower right corner with the
same figure number as that assigned in the IPC.

(2) Exploded view illustrations are included in the Disassembly and

Assembly sections of the manual and are generally the first figure
in each section.

(3) Reference is made to the CSN of the illustrations throughout the

manual as required to identify parts. In the text the name of the
part is given, followed by its CSN in parentheses.

(4) The full CSN consists of only the IPC figure number plus the
item number when in the same section as the illustration.
Example: vane 01-360. If the CSN is from an illustration in
another section of the manual, text reference will be made to the
Chapter/Section/Subject number as well as the CSN. Example: blade
(01-020; 72-31-00).

D. Tools, Equipment and Materials. Tools, equipment and materials

information is given at the beginning of each functional page block.

(1) Tools and Equipment are listed and are those items covered in
the procedural instructions that are needed to accomplish the
instructions. When necessary an illustration will be included to
show tool usage and describe its application.

(a) Tooling definitions are as follows:

1) Special Tools - Tooling specially designed by CFMI.

Identified by designated tool number and description.

2) Standard Tools - Tooling not available through normal

channels of trade, but procurable from a specific tool
manufacturer. They have no special identification and are
defined by name only.

3) Locally Manufactured Tools - Simple tooling designed by CFMI

and locally manufactured by the operator. Described by
nomenclature and illustration.

INTRO
PAGE 10

 CFM56-3

(b) A complete listing of tools required for the CFM56-3 engine will
be found in the Illustrated Tool and Equipment Manual.

CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THE GROUP NUMBER OF THE TOOLS USED TO
PERFORM THE MAINTENANCE TASKS IS ALLOWED.

(c) The special tool group number identifies the different issues
of the tool. The group number is exclusively mentioned in the
ITEM.

(2) Consumable materials and expendable items (Assembly, Installation

and Repair sections only) required to accomplish the task are listed
after the tools and equipment. Consumable materials are identified
by code numbers in the first column and some in the second column.
The expendables are listed by catalog sequence numbers (CSN) and
includes preformed packings and gaskets, etc.

E. Cleaning.

The cleaning page block provides information concerning methods and

processes for cleaning major modules, modules, assemblies, or specific
parts.

(1) References are made to the appropriate cleaning procedures in the

Standard Practices Manual.

(2) For specific parts, an illustration is included at the beginning of

the page block that defines the material of the part, and location
and material of coatings and platings.

F. Inspection Data.

Inspection data contained in this manual is arranged primarily in a

paragraph format with supporting illustrations to identify those areas
of the affected parts or assemblies requiring inspection or repair.

NOTE: These procedures are written with the understanding that all
engine parts/assemblies have been cleaned prior to inspection to
ensure that an adequate accessment of part condition can be made
and in turn a subsequent repair of all defects.

(1) Separate levels of serviceability for different degrees of

maintenance are given. For example, areas of the engine exposed
during removal of a module require checks that are significantly
different from inspection required for an individual part.

(2) Each check procedure specifies methods, techniques, and equipment

required. They also identify critical stress areas where
defects are likely to occur or are unacceptable, the nature and
maximum allowable limits of defects in all areas, and recommended
nondestructive testing procedures for the part covered.

 CFM56-3

(3) Inspection Tables.

(a) To use the tables, first inspect the part to determine what
defect is present, and then refer to the Inspect column in the
table. When the defect is located in the Inspect column, check
the Maximum Serviceable Limits column and Maximum Repairable.

NOTE: For planning purposes some Repair Methodentries may not

contain a repair reference. This is to indicate that a
repair is not currently available but will be developed
by CFMI as the need arises.

INSPECTION INFORMATION EXAMPLE:

Compressor Casing OD for:

1) Nicks, gouges, and scratches:

Maximum Serviceable Limit: Any number not more than 0.005

in. (0,13 mm) deep.

Maximum Repairable Limit: Blend not more than 0.010 in.

(0,25 mm) deep and 2.00 in (51,00 mm) long.

Repair Method: Blend high metal to machined surface.

(b) Inspection Information Explanation. The following is a

step-by-step procedure for explaining the intent of the table
example.

1) Inspect the compressor casing outside diameter (OD) for the

above defects.

2) The casing is serviceable, without repair, if nicks, gouges,

or scratches do not exceed 0.005 inch (0,13 mm) in depth.
There is no length limit.

3) If nicks, gouges, or scratches are more than 0.005 inch

(0,13 mm) deep they may be repaired by blending high metal
to obtain blended areas not more than 0.010 inch (0,25 mm)
deep and 2.00 inch (51,0 mm) long.

4) If after blending, the defect exceeds Maximum Repairable

Limits, the part must be replaced.

6. ATA Task/Subtask Numbering System.

In accordance with the Air Transport Association Specification 2200, this
publication contains a Maintenance Task Numbering Standard which makes the
maintenance procedure in this manual compatible with an automated shop
environment.

 CFM56-3

A. Task/Subtask Number Assignments. All procedures in this publication

are assigned Task or Subtask numbers at key data retrieval points for
segregation and use in overhaul. The numbers, once assigned, will not
be changed (or reused) there by allowing for a stable (unchanging)
referencing system between in-place airline documentation and the
manufacturer's maintenance instructions.

(1) Task Level number assignments identify complete maintenance

procedures. For example, a complete repair which must be initiated
to restore a given engine part to serviceable condition. Refer to
(Ref.figure 2).

(2) Subtask Level number assignments are given to each step (or group of
steps) which under normal overhaul conditions could be assigned a
specific work station within the shop.

B. Task/Subtask Number Elements. Aside from the data referencing the

retrieval aspects mentioned above, the elements of each task and subtask
number identify for the user many important details about the operation
being performed. Refer to (Ref.figure 3) and (Ref.figure 4).

(1) Elements One, Two and Three reflect the ATA numbering system which,
in addition to organizing this publication, identifies the engine,
module, assembly or piece-part which is being addressed by any given
task/subtask number assignment. The first three elements also
identify the ATA number of the publications section in which the
task or subtask will be found.

(2) Element Four identifies the maintenance/shop function being

performed. At the task level the fourth element normally identifies
the function in a general sense (e.g., cleaning, inspection or
repair) while for subtasks the fourth element identifies a specific
overhaul function normally related to a given work station (e.g.,
steam cleaning, magnetic-particle inspection or chrome plating,
etc.). For a complete description of all function definitions, see
paragraphs 4.C. and 4.D.

(3) Element Five provides a unique identification for each task or

subtask number ensuring that it cannot be confused with any other
task/subtask number which relates to the same engine hardware and
shop function.

(4) Element Six allows for alternate task or subtasks resulting from
engine configurational changes and/or alternate methods.

(5) Element Seven is reserved for airline use as prescribed in ATA

Specification 2200. This element allows the airlines to relate
their own locally generated instructions to the task numbering
standards as supplied by the manufacturers.
