1. ENGINE COWLING.

The engine cowling gives an aerodynamically smooth surface into and over the 1.1. Inlet Cowl.
engine. It also gives a protective area for engine components and accessories.
The inlet cowl sends air into the engine. The inlet cowl attaches to the engine.
These are the parts of the engine cowling :
1.2. Fan Cowls.
- Inlet cowl,
- Fan cowl, The fan cowls give an aerodynamically smooth surface over the fan case.
- Thrust reverser. The fan cowls attach to the fan cowl support beam. The fan cowls open for
maintenance.

1.3. Thrust Reverser.


Each T/R has a left and right half. Each half has a translating sleeve which
moves aft (deploy position) for reverse thrust. The two sleeves work
independently from each other.

The thrust reverser (T/R) system changes the direction of the fan air exhaust
to help create reverse thrust. The flight crew uses reverse thrust to slow the
airplane after landing or during a rejected takeoff

Turbine Exhaust
The turbine exhaust system supplies an exit for the engine exhaust gases.
This exit increases the velocity of the exhaust gases. This increases engine
thrust.

The major components of the turbine exhaust system are the exhaust nozzle
and the exhaust plug.

The turbine exhaust airflow direction does not change during reverse thrust.

2. ENGINE HAZARDS.

It is dangerous to work around engines. Use the entry/exit corridor when the 2.4. Engine Noise.
engine is in operation. Also, stay out of the inlet and exhaust areas when the
engine is in operation. Engine noise can cause temporary and permanent loss of your ability to hear.
You must wear ear protection when near an engine in operation.
These are the hazards around an engine in operation :

- Inlet suction,
- Exhaust heat,
- Exhaust velocity,
- Engine noise.

2.1. Inlet Suction.


Engine inlet suction, can pull people and large objects into the engine.
At idle power, the inlet hazard area is a 13 ft (4.0 m) radius around the inlet.

WARNING : IF THE WIND IS OVER 25 KNOTS, INCREASE THE INLET HAZARD


AREA BY 20%.

2.2. Exhaust Heat.


The engine exhaust is very hot for long distances behind the engine.
This can cause damage to personnel and equipment.

2.3. Exhaust Velocity.


Exhaust velocity is very high for long distances behind the engine.
This can cause damage to personnel and equipment.

8. THRUST REVERSER HALVES.

There are two thrust reverser halves for each engine.

Both of them are attached to the strut with hinges.

They are very heavy and need an hydraulic actuator to be opened.

When open, the installation of the actuator safety lock is required for safety if
you have to work under the cowling.

8.1. Thrust Reverser Halves Opening.


In order to open the thrust reverser halves, you first have to unlatch the six
latches from the rear to the front. Make sure they are completely disengaged
and then rise the halve using the handpump.

NOTE : In order to open the thrust reverser halves, you first have to open the
fan cowl panels. Not only because there is an overlap, but also to gain
access to the handpump connections.

8.2. Thrust Reverser Halves Closure.


In order to close the T.R. halves, you can apply the same procedure as for the
opening, but in the opposite direction. First let drop the T.R. halves,
releasing the pressure of the actuator by opening the valve on the handpump.

When both halves are down, install the latches from the front to the rear.
If the halves are too far from each other, you can use a special tool called
“latch lever tool” to pull them closer so that the latch hook can fetch the latch
keeper before you latch them, positioning the latch handle in the place.

8.3. Thrust Hold-Open Equipment.


If the engine has to be removed, you have to install the thrust reverser hold-
open equipment in order to keep the T.R. halves open, when you remove the
engine.

This equipment has to be attached to the bottom of the pylon and, at both
ends, two beam assemblies will be adjusted to keep the thrust reverser halves
open.

After actuator depressurization, you will disconnect the thrust reverser


opening actuator at the bottom and store it on the thrust reverser halve
structure.

More over the thrust reverser system will be explained in chapter 78 : Engine

9.ENGINE STORAGE AND PRESERVATION

9.1 General that you can start; a power plant that is not serviceable is one that you cannot
start.
This section contains instructions for power plant preservation, preservation
renewal, and depreservation.

- The instructions usually apply to power plants that are installed (on-wing). The different procedures listed below are available. They differ according to
the planned time of storage:
- Where it is applicable, different instructions are given for engines that are
not installed (offwing). - Up to 10 Days Preservation
- Up to 10 Days Preservation Renewal
- Up to 30 Days Preservation
- Up to 30 Days Preservation Renewal
Preservation instructions give the recommended procedures as the minimum - Up to 90 Days Preservation
steps necessary to prevent unwanted liquid and materials in the power - Up to 90 Days Preservation Renewal
plant, corrosion, and atmospheric conditions during times of storage and no - Up to 90 Days Depreservation
operation, or landing after an in-flight shutdown. - 30 to 365 Days Preservation
- 30 to 365 Days Preservation Renewal
If preservation renewal is permitted, it gives the instructions for the renewal of - 30 to 365 Days Depreservation
the reservation period. - Long Term Preservation Period (365 Days) Exceeded
- Engine Dry-Out Procedure
Depreservation instructions consist of steps that put a power plant back to the
usual operational condition.
Preservation procedures are recommended as an aid to find the necessary
precautions that you must do to give sufficient protection to the power plant
from the elements during times of storage and no operation.
The procedures are different for different lengths of non-operation time,
different types of preservation, and if the power plant is serviceable or not - Power plant preservation is a flexible program that you can do in such a way
serviceable. which best agrees with the applicable weather and storage conditions.

NOTE: For this procedure, the definition of an engine that is serviceable and - More care is necessary for a program for power plants that are not
an engine that is not serviceable is as follows: A serviceable power plant is one operational in high humidity or large temperature changes or near a salt water

area, than for the power plants that are in drier climates or less bad weather
conditions.

You must do a schedule for the preservation programs for power plants that
are not serviceable to do the preservation renewal procedures and monitor the
schedule regularly to make sure that you did the necessary procedures before
the expiration of preservation time.

You must examine the preservation of the power plant as the weather
conditions and conditions of power plant protection change and do the
procedures necessary to keep the power plant in a serviceable condition.

NOTE: You cannot preserve the engines and put them into storage without
maintenance. You must do a schedule (for a power plant in revenue service)
and then implement it.

When you use desiccants you must change them regularly, applicable to
environmental conditions, to keep the desiccant with a good protection life.

You must pump the variable bleed valves (VBV) closed (75-32-00) when you
preserve and store the power plant. This will prevent unwanted material in the
core engine inlet through the VBV’s.

If you preserve a power plant for more than the long term preservation time
(365 days), you must do the power plant operation procedure to make sure
the power plant is serviceable before you put the power plant back into
service or preserve the engine for a longer time.

You must do the engine dry-out procedure when an engine had an in-flight
shutdown, and when you preserve an engine that is not serviceable for a long
time.

Procedures for engines that are removed from the airplane are in the CFMI
Engine Shop Manual, Section 72-00-00.
