NOTE: The takeoff and flat-rated temperatures are at standard day conditions. The
differences between the engine models can consist of different hardware
requirements, different control requirements, and different testing requirements.
The following document must be complied with by aircraft type for extended
range operations:
NOTE: These are a small sample of possible scenarios shown for illustration of
the soft time module management.
A. Scenario 1: Operator ‘A’ has an engine in the shop. Operator ‘A’ expects
their engine to remain on wing 3, 000 cycles / 12,000 hours after the
current shop visit. The high pressure compressor (HPC) rotor in the engine
currently has 5,000 cycles / 20,000 hours since it was last overhauled. The
Workscope Planning Guide recommends that the HPC rotor be overhauled
if it has accumulated 6,500 cycles (or 39,000 hours) since last overhaul. In
this scenario, the HPC rotor would usually not need to be overhauled at its
current shop visit based on the recommended threshold, even though it
would be expected to exceed 6,500 cycles prior to its next shop visit.
B. Scenario 2: Operator ‘B’ has an engine in the shop. Operator ‘B’ expects
their engine to stay on wing after the current shop visit for 2,200 cycles /
20,000 hours. The HPC rotor in the engine currently has 4,200 cycles /
38,000 hours since it was last overhauled. In this scenario, the operator
should consider their prior experience when deciding whether overhaul of
the HPC should be performed at the current shop visit. Even though the
HPC has not exceeded the “soft-time” threshold of 39,000 hours, it would
be expected to have 58,000 hours since overhaul by the next shop visit if
reinstalled without overhaul at the current shop visit.
C. Scenario 3: Operator ‘C’ has an engine in the shop. Operator ‘C’ expects
their engine to stay on wing for 3,500 cycles / 17,000 hours after the
current shop visit. The HPC rotor in the engine currently has 7,000 cycles /
35,000 hours since it was last overhauled. In this scenario, the HPC rotor
should be overhauled to meet the intent of the “soft-time” recommendation
of 6,500 cycles.
Thresholds for individual modules, engine maintenance units (EMUs), and piece-
parts are developed as a means to achieve reliability, performance, and cost of
ownership goals. They can address issues of performance restoration or of
hardware integrity.
Thresholds are not hard-time limits. They are economic time guidelines to be
used when deciding an engine‘s bill of work at shop level. Given the wide
variation in usage of the CF6-80C2, it is not possible to define a single threshold
number. As discussed in Section 1.2., Objectives, of this document, there are
many factors that must be considered when defining the workscope of an engine.
Therefore, workscope thresholds are defined as a range of time. GE recommends
that operators work with their overhaul providers to define specific thresholds
based on the factors listed.
Thresholds are developed based on prior shop visit and sampling inspection
experience. Beyond the threshold it is expected that the module will not have the
life remaining to make another complete engine installation/run (i.e. the module
will limit the installed engine life).
C. Performance Workscope.
(2) Piece-parts
(1) Category I
(2) Category II
(4) Category IV
(2) Review the operating records of the installed engine and verify whether
or not any special inspections such as overtemperature or overspeed
inspections are required. These records, along with performance trend
data, must also allow the assessment of the engine‘s future performance
potential.

SECTION 3
Modular Thresholds
A. Table 3-1 defines general guidelines for soft time recommendations for level of
work for each module. As discussed in Section 1.2., GE recommends that the
specific level of work timing be developed based on the Objectives discussion
in this guide. The recommendations below were based on the most recent
average engine experience.
NOTE: Because CF6-80C2 engines are operated over a wide range of flight
lengths and operating environments, modification of these modular
thresholds may be necessary for certain operators. Additionally, the past
maintenance history of each engine including incoming hardware
standards, Services Bulletin status, and level of work previously done
can impact the level of work needed which can influence the logical
modular thresholds for that specific engine. Intervals can, and should be,
adjusted based on each operator’s engine experience based on their
unique operational factors. GE recommends that operators work with
their maintenance providers to determine the specific thresholds that are
appropriate for their engines. Reference Paragraph 1.2. for more
information.
E. “Overhaul” workscopes are intended to restore the engine flow path and to
inspect, and repair as necessary, the engine structural hardware.
Note:
1. Fan Stage 1 Rotor “Performance” workscope only includes stage 1 fan blades.
Note:
1. If the CDP stationary seal honeycomb is replaced in the CRF, the rotating CDP
seal on the HPC rotor should be removed and seal tooth coating reapplied. This
is recommended to avoid damaging the rotating CDP seal teeth from rubbing
during seal break-in.
Notes:
1. If the CDP stationary seal honeycomb is replaced in the CRF, the rotating CDP
seal on the HPC rotor should be removed and seal tooth coating reapplied. This
is recommended to avoid damaging the rotating CDP seal teeth from rubbing
during seal break-in.
2. CRF “Performance” workscope is limited to removal of the B/C sump housing in
order to replace the o-ring seal which deteriorate over time and cause oil leakage
Note:
Note:
1. Because of the configuration of the HPT stage 1 nozzle, the “Performance” and
“Overhaul” workscopes are the same. Therefore, the “Overhaul” interval
recommendations for those modules have been aligned with the “Performance”
workscope threshold for the remainder of the core modules.
Note:
1. Configuration 1 (Inco rotors) only. If the thermal shield has accumulated 9,000
cycles or more since new, or if the thermal shield time since new is not known, it
is recommended that the seal teeth serrations are inspected for cracks at each
Performance level shop visit. The engine manual defines an optional eddy current
inspection of the seal teeth that can be done at the rotor module level to detect
seal teeth cracks.
Notes:
1. “Performance” restoration thresholds for the LPT apply only to the LPT stator and
are listed for convenience. “Performance” restoration of the LPT stator is entirely
optional and is not required for engine reliability. Some operators have
expressed their desire to perform “Performance” restoration of the LPT module.
Operators should evaluate cost of the LPT flow path refurbishment for
performance versus their engine performance goals to determine specific engine
workscope.
2. It is recommended that the turbine rear frame (TRF) oil supply and scavenge
tubes be removed and cleaned at each core “Performance” restoration and each
LPT “Overhaul” shop visits.

The following pages outline the relevant tasks for performing HPT module
workscope planning and maintenance. The objectives of the information
contained within this guide are to communicate the extent of work to enable
the user of the guide to achieve their engine durability, performance and
maintenance cost goals while maintaining high standards of engine reliability.
The recommendations contained herein are based on an average engine in the
fleet. However, there are many variable factors that can affect the specific

NOTE: The following pages outline some best practices for handling of HPT rotor
hardware. GE has observed damage from improper handling. Improper
handling can result in nicks or dents that are not serviceable and not
repairable, requiring replacement of very expensive hardware.
A. All life limited rotor parts are sensitive to nicks and dents. Some nicks or dents
can cause subsurface damage that can result in non-detectable cracks.
Therefore, there is no such thing as a “harmless” nick or dent. Blending a nick
or dent requires going below the maximum depth of the nick or dent. Testing
has demonstrated that a blend depth of 1.25x the depth of nick or dent
removes subsurface damage. However, GE has observed handling damage
that has exceeded repair limitations of the part such that maximum blending
allowed will not ensure all subsurface damage has been removed. This has
resulted in parts that were not repairable and were scrapped.

CAUTION: The bolts securing the LPT cooling manifold support brackets to the LPT case are
susceptible to seizure and may shear if torque is applied to the securing nuts.
These “D” headed bolts are installed from the inside of the LPT case and LPT
module disassembly is required to replace them if they are broken. If necessary, the
LPT cooling manifold can be removed by just removing the circumferentially
oriented bolts that pass through the manifold plenum.
NOTES:
1. Performance restoration of the LPT module is optional. However, removal of the oil
supply and scavenge tubes from the TRF is recommended at each core engine
performance restoration or overhaul to prevent oil coke accumulation inside the tubes.
2. Most LPT performance recovery is expected from restoring interstage seal
clearances and LPT stator airfoils. LPT rotor blade airfoil condition does have an
impact on performance; however, the effects are relatively small. Thus, this guide
does not suggest removal of the rotor blades for performance workscope.
