The guidance provided in this documentation does not address parts or repairs
supplied by third-party sources that have not been approved by CF34.
Forward
The recommendations contained within this Workscope Planning Guide are not
intended to alter the ”on-condition” maintenance concept of the CF34-10E
engine, but to optimize the maintenance performed during each shop visit.
These recommendations are directed towards improving the durability of the
engine hardware, as well as improving the 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.
Please pass along any questions, clarifications, and/or corrections to your CF34
Representative for incorporation in future revisions of the WSPG.
ATA Chapter 05-00-00 of the CF34-10E Engine Manual GEK 112081 lists the
rotating parts and static structure parts identified by the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) as Life Limited Parts (LLP). The Airworthiness Limitations
contained in Sections 05-11 and 05-21 have been substantiated to the
Certificating Authority based on engineering analysis that assumes this product
will be operated and maintained using the configurations, procedures, and
inspections provided in the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness supplied with
this product by the Type Certificate holder. For Life Limited Parts, and parts that
influence Life Limited Parts, any repair, alteration or other maintenance not
technically substantiated by the Type Certificate holder, or its licensees, or any
replacement of such parts not supplied by the Type Certificate holder, or its
licensees, can introduce differences that may materially affect these limits. GE
recommends the use of only GE approved replacement parts and repairs.
Included in ATA Chapter 05-00-00 is a list of LLP influencing parts - parts that
experience has shown can directly or indirectly influence the boundary conditions
of the lifing system used to determine the LLP Airworthiness Limitations. To
ensure that Airworthiness Limitations published in Sections 05-11 and 05-21
remain valid, LLP-Influencing Parts should be maintained in a manner consistent
with the inspection and repair procedures contained in Chapter 72 of the engine
manufacturer’s shop manual. Accordingly, GE recommends the operating
configuration of each LLP including all LLP influencing parts be documented
during maintenance using the data sheet contained in Figure 1.
NOTES:
1. Produce one sheet for each LLP exposed/installed in the engine during shop visit
2. Enter one row for each influencing part for the appropriate LLP as listed in Chapter 05-
00-00
New TCH Approved parts are listed in the IPC and are licensed by the engine Type Certificate
Holder and are listed in the TCH approved Illustrated Parts Catalog. TCH approved repairs of TCH
approved parts are listed in the repair sources directory for the appropriate model engine. GE
recommends using only parts and repairs approved by GE
The CF-10E engine powers the Embraer 190 and 195 aircraft. Refer to Table 1
for uninstalled sea level static performance for CF34 -10E engines.
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.
Exceptions:
Engine Testing
Once a workscope has been determined for a particular engine, it is important to
carefully match the required engine test with the actual work performed on the
engine. Without careful review of the testing requirements of 72-00-00 Testing
002 and 003, it is possible to “over test” an engine resulting in increased cost and
TAT. Operators should work closely with their MRO providers to match the actual
workscope with the ESM testing requirements.
Several benefits, such as reduced number of shop visits and optimum fuel
consumption, can be derived for the operator by ensuring the integrity standards
of the hardware and emphasizing performance restoration procedures during
engine restoration.
Life Management
Refer to CF34 Engine Manual Section 05-11-00 thru 05-11-07 for the latest
rotating part lives. Also refer to the CF34 Engine Manual Section 05-21-00 for the
Engine - Piece-Parts Mandatory Inspections and Mandatory Maintenance and
05-31-00 for the Engine Maintenance Program.
The operator should establish minimum remaining life goals (i.e. stub life) for
each of the modules depending on his operational requirements.
All Service Bulletins are also categorized as to the importance of the Service
Bulletin and recommended timing for incorporation. The key definition of Service
Bulletin category is shown in table on the next page.
9 Information Only
The Proactive FWD Sump Workscope and the LPT Limited Workscope are
contained within the Performance Workscope as well as listed separately
under the Special Workscope section of the WSPG.
The Performance Workscope (PW) has been designed for operators that
have engines at or near the mid-point of their first LLP life cycle, and desire
a workscope that will take the engine to LLP. These engines are typically in
the 10,000 to 15,000 CSN range.
The focus of the Performance Workscope is to:
Restore enough EGT Margin to reach LLP
Incorporating reliability programs to improve TOW and reach
LLP
Note: The Performance Workscope Recommendations are based on
engines operating at the fleet averages for hour to cycle ratio and operating
thrust levels. And it is important to remember that for the Performance
Workscope, “performance” means both margin and time on wing
performance.
The following chart illustrates the typical life cycle of a CF34-10E engine.
The PW also uses a building block approach so that if the LPT Limited
Workscope or the FWD Sump Proactive Workscopes have already been
“Known Cause” workscopes will address fleet wide issues. For example,
engines inducted into the shop with low time since last shop visit, have sufficient
performance margins, and were removed for a known cause can have this level
of work and inspection performed. Since this type of workscope is used to
address a specific removal cause, special detailed workscopes will be developed
and included in this document when appropriate. The Proactive FWD Sump
Workscope and the LPT Limited Workscope are current examples of known
cause workscopes
NOTE: The use of the phrase “HOT SECTION” is commonly used to refer to a
workscope that only addresses issues within the HPT, and sometimes the
Combustor. It is a workscope more closely aligned with the “Known / Special
Cause Workscope”, and will not necessarily yield a performance benefit. It
should never be confused with a “Performance Level Workscope”. Although the
term “Hot Section” is used regularly within the MRO industry, it is not a
workscope definition that will be used in this Workscope Planning Guide.

removal/repair by removing IGV only in horizontal position
Note: SB 72-0278 Improved #3 Aft Rotating Seal is not considered part of the
FWD Sump Proactive Workscope, and should be incorporated during the next
full shop visit. The incorporation of SB 72-0278 requires the removal of the IGB,
and its partial disassembly. This could have an impact on the TAT for the FWD
Sump Proactive Workscope. And although SB 72-0278 does contribute to the
overall fix effectiveness, its contribution is much less the then 3 items already
contained in the Proactive Workscope.
NOTE: Refurbished HPC Blades should meet tip length and chord requirements,
have their leading edges re-contoured, SWECO cleaned to improve
surface finish, dovetail coatings reapplied, and RTV replaced.
-
Apply dry film lubricant to the dovetail pressure faces on stage 1-3 HPC
blades
Replace RTV 106 under stage 1-3 HPC blade dovetails
Measure HPC Stage 1-2 and Stage 4-9 Spool Seal teeth diameters for
serviceability. If under minimum, disassemble rotor and refurbish seal
teeth per the ESM requirements
If Rotor is disassembled, components must be fully inspected to the
applicable Piece Part ESM Section, including FPI and enhanced NDT
inspection
- Measure rotating CDP seal teeth diameters for serviceability. If
under minimum, remove CDP seal from HPC Rotor Assembly and
fully inspect to the applicable Piece Part ESM Section, including
FPI and enhanced NDT inspection. Repair per the ESM
requirements.
Install blades per Engine Shop Manual and measure / grind blade to the
nominal radii recommended in ESM 72-33-00

Subject to restrictions on the front page. Rev 4A September 16, 2014
EGT Performance Recommendations - HPC Rear Case
Remove HPC stage 6-8 interstage honeycomb seal segments from the rear
stator assembly
Replace all HPC interstage honeycomb seals with new or repaired
hardware
Inspect casing rub lands for positive material (scabbing) from airfoil rub.
Remove any positive material to be smooth and flush with flowpath
contour.
Assembly Notes
Note 1: Ensure Honeycomb Seals do not have closed up cells. Cell smearing from
grind can increase surface area against rotating seals resulting in excessive seal
tooth wear and/or core seizures in severe cases.
Note 2 : Assemble the front and rear stator halves together for grinding and
dimensional inspection; horizontal flange bolts should be torqued before the
circumferential flanges
- Consistently observe the Shop Manual defined torqueing sequence
to ensure roundness and concentricity
- Assure proper length alignment pins are being used in each
location
Reference
Service Bulletin 72-102, “ENGINE - Combustion Chamber (72-42-00) -
Combustion Chamber Assembly Configuration Chart, provides a configuration
chart of the combustor to assist in understanding the various configurations.
Prior to module assembly, pay close attention to rotor cavities cleaning for oil/dust
accumulation, in order to prevent future vibration problems
Pay particular attention to dust build up in cavity between FOS and HPT disk.
Remove all dust in this cavity to help prevent HPT Blade distress
During assembly of the Core Engine module, pay particular attention to the CDP
seal bore runout check, to prevent future vibration problems
Perform HPT linipot inspections in both the vertical and horizontal positions
Check the HPT shroud support T-flange aft end with the LPT case forward
diameter to assure that a tight fit exists at the rabbet diameters
Grind the blade tip radius using average J05 clearance of 0.049 from the
shroud finish grind radius, resulting in only minimal turbine rub during
outbound test. Clearances can be restored via matching any combination
of new / used / serviceable rotor and stator, observing ESM limits for each

Fumes in the cabin can be the result of several things including aircraft faults and
improperly drying the engine bleed system after waterwash. However, GE has
identified 2 major leak paths in the forward sump that can also result in engine
related oil smell in the cabin complaints.
On the CF34-10E engine, two major leak paths have been identified (Figure 1).
Figure 1
Oil supply
Main leak path
Change 1: Tube
Improvement
(SB 72-0249)
The first leak path is the plugging of the 6:00 sump pressurization tube (Change
1). This tube is a double wall tube with a drain hole. During our investigation, we
found that this drain hole can plug up. As a result, oil will fill up the double wall
tube; enter the 6:00 pressurization tube ID at the most inboard point, then flow
outboard into the booster flowpath. To correct this problem, the 6:00
pressurization tube has been modified by (1) enlarging the drain hole so larger
debris can pass thru and (2) adding a second drain hole. This change has been
issued in the field via SB 72-0249.
The second leak path that has been identified is oil from the #2 lube jet will spray
thru the #2 bearing and against the seal teeth of the #3 forward seal (Change 2).
To aid customers in addressing this issue, PSE has developed a FWD Sump
Proactive Workcope, comprising of 3 defined workscope items.
PSE developed this workscope so that it can be done in conjunction with the LPT
Limited Workscope. This workscope is limited to the front side of the fan frame,
and does not require the removal of the IGB, or the removal of the HPC. This will
provide the operator with an opportunity to mitigate the risk of an “Oil Smell in the
Cabin” event, prior to a full shop visit.
Note: SB 72-0278 Improved #3 Aft Rotating Seal is not considered part of the FWD Sump
Proactive Workscope, and should be incorporated during the next full shop visit.
Note: If the engine has had a LPT Stage 4 blade event, then IT IS NOT A
CANDIDATE for the LPT Limited Workscope and needs to be inducted into
a shop.
Note: If the operator has reported a “Tail Pipe Fire” and a corrosive fire
extinguishing agent was used (reference GE SPM) the engine must be
disassembled to the degree required to remove the extinguishing agent.
1. Engine was removed for on wing HOC and the intended workscope is only
the accomplishment of S/B 72-0215 and SB 72-0212 Stage 4 blade
replacement.
2. The operator determines that sufficient EGT remains to meet their fleet
planning objectives after the completion of the LPT Limited Workscope.
The attached LPT Limited Workscope Checksheet can also be used in the
evaluation.
It is recommended that the LPT be removed at the Operators facility and the
module sent to an MRO provider. Once the module is returned and reinstalled on
the engine, then the operator will return the engine to service and perform the on
wing tests required per 72-00-00 Testing 03** See the note on next page.
Several of the authorized MRO Providers can provide “in the field services” to
assist with LPT removal in the field. Please contact your CSM or the AOC for
assistance.
If the whole engine is sent to an MRO provider, then the LPT Limited Workscope
can still be performed by focusing on the LPT Module only and treating the
engine like a “Hospital” event. Work will be limited to the following:
b. LPT removal for the incorporation of S/B 72-0215 and 72-0212 per
the LPT Limited Workscope referenced on page 84.
Engine Preservation
When the LPT Limited Workscope is the only maintenance that has been
performed on the engine, then it is considered LPT Module maintenance. Per
the Testing provisions of Chapter 72-00-00 of the ESM, then a Test Cell run is
not required, and the provisions of 72-00-00, Testing 003 “Engine on Wing”
needs to be complied with. Figure 1301 of this task describes the seven specific
subtasks that need to be performed in order for the operator to return the engine
to service.
Reference line one of figure 1301 “engine or module maintenance”. These tests
are:
