Removal of the Power Plant with Cobra Tool [CFMB]


TASK 71-00-00-000-042-A-02
Removal of the Power Plant with Cobra Tool


WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE GROUND SAFETY-LOCKS ARE IN POSITION ON THE LANDING GEAR. THIS WILL PREVENT UNWANTED MOVEMENT OF THE LANDING GEAR, AND THUS POSSIBLE INJURY TO PERSONS AND DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT AND/OR EQUIPMENT.
WARNING: PUT THE SAFETY DEVICES AND THE WARNING NOTICES IN POSITION BEFORE YOU START A TASK ON OR NEAR:
  • THE FLIGHT CONTROLS
  • THE FLIGHT CONTROL SURFACES
  • THE LANDING GEAR AND THE RELATED DOORS
  • COMPONENTS THAT MOVE.
MOVEMENT OF COMPONENTS CAN KILL OR CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONS AND/OR CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE CIRCUITS IN MAINTENANCE ARE ISOLATED BEFORE YOU SUPPLY ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE AIRCRAFT. UNWANTED ELECTRICAL POWER CAN BE DANGEROUS.
WARNING: BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU USE CONSUMABLE MATERIALS. OBEY THE MATERIAL MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS AND YOUR LOCAL REGULATIONS.

1. Reason for the Job
This task gives the information for the removal of the Power Plant with Cobra Tool.
The power plant can be removed in particular configuration. It is allowed to remove the power plant with or without the air intake cowl installed.
NOTE: Interferences between the LPTACC Inlet Airscoop assy and the Thrust reverser cowl have been observed in production on a limited number of A320 Family aircraft powered with CFM56-5B/3 engines. CFM has issued SB CFM56-5B S/B 75-0044. In order to recover the gap between the LPTACC scoop and the Thrust reverser cowl to avoid potential interference, Airbus recommends to incorporate this SB at the opportunity of Engine Removal/Installation.
