GE Aviation has launched its TRUEngine designation for the CF6 engine with Nippon Cargo Airlines being the first recipient for its 43 CF6-80C2s powering its fleet of Boeing 747s.
GE is expanding TRUEngine status to the CF6 from the CFM56 models. Qualifying for the status includes the engine configuration, overhaul practices, spare parts and repairs used in servicing an engine being consistent with GE and CFM requirements. All maintenance must comply with OEM engine manuals.
Qualification data for TRUEngine compliance is obtained from a combination of fleet operations and maintenance records.
"The TRUEngine designation enhances marketability and provides other valuable benefits, such as extended new parts warranty and GE or CFM engine lease pool support," says GE.
