Engine Testing

Key Reasons for Performing a
Recertification Test Run on a CFM56 Engine
Preparation
Installation: We securely mount the engine on a test stand or test cell. It is equipped with all necessary instrumentation for monitoring performance parameters.
Pre-Test Inspection: A thorough inspection is conducted. This helps us verify that all components are correctly installed and that there are no visible defects or leaks.
Initial Checks
System Calibration: All measuring and diagnostic equipment is calibrated to ensure accurate readings.
Dry Crank Test: The engine is cranked without fuel to check for proper rotation. This ensures there are no unusual noises or vibrations.
Start-Up
Ignition: The engine is started, and initial readings are taken to monitor basic functions. These include fuel flow, oil pressure, and temperature.
Stabilization: The engine is run at idle to stabilize temperatures and pressures.
