Introduction

Introduction to the LEAP-1A Family

The LEAP-1A is the power source for the entire A320 Airbus neo family (A319, A320,
A321). The powerplant thrust range is 24,400 to 32,900 lbf.

CFM PROPRIETARY Page 3 / 149


Overall Dimensions and Ground Clearance

This display gives information on the approximate external dimensions and ground
clearance.

Airflow

The powerplant airflow is separated into two flows: the primary flow passes through the
core engine (booster, HPC, combustion chamber, HPT, LPT) while the secondary flow
passes through the OGVs and exits through the nacelle discharge duct.

CFM PROPRIETARY Page 4 / 149


Hazard and Danger Areas

Hazard and danger areas are defined at idle and full power to prevent any human or
material damage during engine run-ups: an inlet suction area and an exhaust hazard area
are defined as well as an access corridor between them.

Acoustical Hazard Areas

Engine noise can cause injury to personnel. Specific hazard areas are defined depending
on engine power. Ear protection is required in the middle and outer areas. Close to the
engine, ear injury will occur even when wearing ear protection.

AIDS is an option that is organized around the FDIMU. One of the functions of the FDIMU
is the generation of reports as a result of specific events defined by trigger conditions.

AIDS - Parameter Call-Up Function

The parameter call-up function enables real time access to all the parameters transmitted
to the Flight Data Interface and Management Unit (FDIMU).

AIDS - Reports 1/2

The data stored and processed in the FDIMU can be read in the form of printed reports,
which are triggered and generated when specific conditions are met. These reports are
used for engine component, sensor and actuator health monitoring.

AIDS - Reports 2/2

The ENGINE CRUISE REPORT is generated when the aircraft meets the appropriate
stability criteria. The ENGINE TAKE-OFF REPORT is generated during the take-off flight
phase.

Troubleshooting - General

The troubleshooting function is initiated by a flight/maintenance crew report. Then, using


the TSM, the troubleshooter is directed to the applicable troubleshooting procedure to
confirm, isolate and then fix the fault with the AMM.

Troubleshooting - Fault Retrieval Principle

The PFR is available via the MCDU. It is automatically printed at the end of the flight and
can be transmitted by ACARS. It provides ECAM warnings and maintenance messages,
and engine faults transmitted to the CFDS.

Troubleshooting - Fault Message

The fault messages are shown in a “clear language message” format. They provide
identification of the most probable faulty LRU (ATA number), engine position, EEC
channel, fault code number and fault type source.

Troubleshooting – How to start?

The appropriate procedure to isolate the fault is selected from a failure message in the
PFR, a class 3 report of the MCDU, a SMR report of the MCDU or a flight/maintenance
crew observation.

Troubleshooting – Fault Isolation

Troubleshooting procedures are defined to isolate faulty components. Their main steps are
the fault confirmation procedure and the fault isolation procedure.
