Engine Overview
The CFM56-5C is the exclusive powerplant for the Airbus A340-200 and A340-300.
| Engine Family | CFM56-5C |
|---|---|
| Type | High-bypass turbofan |
| Takeoff Thrust | Approx. 31,200–34,000 lbf |
| Application | Airbus A340-200 / A340-300 |
| Market | Legacy long-haul fleet |
| Support Focus | Engines, LLPs, modules, rotables |
Variants & Aircraft Applications
Commercial application and configuration vary by engine rating and aircraft model.
| Engine Variant | Primary Application |
|---|---|
| CFM56-5C2 | A340-200/-300 family rating |
| CFM56-5C3 | A340-200/-300 family rating |
| CFM56-5C4 / -5C4/P | Higher-thrust / enhanced A340 applications |
Final applicability must be verified against current approved aircraft and engine documentation.
Global Fleet Footprint
As of April 2026, CFM reports 35 operators, about 76.7 million engine flight hours and 11.3 million cycles for the CFM56-5C fleet.
Fleet/operator counts evolve; use current OEM and operator records for transaction-level verification.
Representative CFM56-5C LLP P/Ns
| Module | P/N | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Fan | 337-005-407-0 | Fan Disk |
| Fan/LPC | 337-005-206-0 | Booster Spool |

Reference only. LLP applicability and certified life are configuration/revision specific and must be verified against current approved records.
Maintenance & Shop-Visit Planning
| Long-haul utilization | Flight-hour-driven deterioration can dominate over cycle accumulation. |
|---|---|
| Performance | Track EGT margin, vibration, oil consumption and trend monitoring. |
| LLP planning | Cycle exposure is relatively low versus short-haul fleets, but exact LLP status remains critical. |
| Workscope | Module repair, performance restoration and targeted life-extension work depend on records and findings. |
There is no single universal overhaul interval applicable to every engine in this family.
Indicative Shop-Visit Cost Context
Public cost references for CFM56-5C are mostly historical and not suitable as a current quotation. In today's legacy market, actual shop-visit economics depend heavily on material availability, LLP status, engine value and remaining fleet strategy.
| Main drivers | Workscope, LLP status, hot-section material, repairability, USM availability, labor, shop capacity and engine configuration. |
|---|---|
| Commercial check | Compare planned shop-visit investment with current engine and green-time replacement value. |
Budgetary context only; not a CFM Gate quotation.
Commonly Sourced CFM56-5C Material
Typical CFM56-5C sourcing demand includes HPT/LPT rotating hardware, fan and booster LLPs, hot-section material, fuel and oil accessories, bearings, valves, pumps, starters and other traceable rotable components.
CFM Gate's RFQ/OFFER database is not yet reliably tagged by engine family, so this page does not publish an artificial “top P/N” ranking.
