Aeroflot Russian Airlines has achieved TRUEngineTM status for 102 of the CFM56-5B engines powering the airline Aeroflot has been a CFM customer since 1998 and currently operates more than 50 CFM56-5B-powered A320 family aircraft.
The TRUEngineTM designation is available to all CFM56 engines meeting the criteria. To qualify for TRUEngineTM status, the engine configuration, engine overhaul practices, spare parts and repairs used to service the engine must be consistent with CFM requirements for that engine model. In addition, all maintenance must comply with CFM-issued engine manuals and other maintenance recommendations. The qualification data is obtained through a combination of fleet operational and maintenance records.
The TRUEngineTM designation also facilitates CFM's ability to provide technical support. Jet engines contain multiple, complex systems whose interactions must be carefully controlled. CFM's engine support is built upon technical expertise for genuine CFM56 parts and configurations, as well as data gained from the vast operational history of the global CFM56 engine population.
