Pylon

The powerplant attachment to the aircraft (A/C) is ensured by the pylon located under the A/C
wing. The pylon assembly transmits the thrust, supports the load, ensures the connections
and the sealing.

Nacelle Components

The nacelle of the LEAP-1A consists of the air intake cowl, two fan cowl doors, the thrust
reverser and the exhaust.

Air Intake Cowl Access Doors

For maintenance actions, there are two access doors on the air inlet outer surface: the T12
access door is located at 1 o'clock and the Nacelle Anti-Ice (NAI) access door is located at 5
o'clock.

Left-hand Fan Cowl Door Components

On the LH fan cowl door, a red flag is visible during pre-flight walk-around if latch No.1 is not
locked. An access door allows manual operation of the starter valve. The IDG access door
allows maintenance actions.

Right-hand Fan Cowl Door Components

Oil tank servicing is possible through the oil tank access door. The ventilation grid vents the
fan area. The strake prevents turbulent airflow at the engine/wing interface.

T/R - Structure Components 1/2

The blocker doors and cascade vanes redirect the secondary airflow. The slat clearance
panel ensures aerodynamic surface. The two latch access panels allow latches operation.

T/R - Structure Components 2/2

The T/R structure features translating cowl pressure seals, and fire seals which ensure the
engine zone integrity. It also consists of thermal blankets for cowl fire protection.

Primary Exhaust

The exhaust consists of three parts: the exhaust plug, the exhaust nozzle and the Central
Ventilation Tube supported by the exhaust plug.

T/R - Cowl Opening Mechanism Components

After unlatching the 6 latches, the Thrust Reverser cowl opening actuators open the T/R cowl
doors. After opening, the Hold-Open Rods hold the T/R cowl doors in open position.

Thrust Reverser Actuation System

The Thrust Reverser (T/R) control and indicating components ensure T/R transcowls
delpoyment/stowage and transmit status feedbacks to the EEC units.

T/R Actuation System - Left Cowl Details

The two T/R Translating Cowls are simultaneously deployed or stowed by individual hydraulic
actuators and vanes connected together. In addition, there are electrical equipments
connected to EEC(s).

T/R Actuation System - Deployment Operation

The FADEC system controls the T/R deployment operation from the unlock, pressurization of
the hydraulic circuit, actuators' deployment, to the operation check.

For Training Purposes Only

T/R Actuation System - Stow Operation

The FADEC controls the T/R stow operation from the pressurization of the hydraulic circuit,
actuators' stow, Translating Cowls lock to the operation check.

T/R - Independent Locking System Components

To prevent inadvertent transcowl deployment, the T/R independent locking system consists of
one tertiary lock system with two proximity sensors for Electrical Tertiary Lock status
monitoring.

Thrust Reverser - Opening

After the two latches access doors are opened, the opening sequence of the 8 T/R cowl
latches is done from the front to the rear. A hydraulic manual pump is necessary to open T/R
half until the hold-open rod is self-locked.

Engine Mounts and Thrust Links

The engine mounts and the engine thrust links are mounted on the pylon structure. The
engine mounts allow the engine to be positioned and supported. The engine thrust links
transmit engine torque load to the engine forward mount.

Nacelle Anti-Ice Protection System - General

The NAI protection system supplies bleed air to heat the inlet lip in flight and on ground under
icing conditions. It uses the hot air from the High Pressure Compressor (HPC) stage 7.

Nacelle Anti-Ice Protection System - Details

The nacelle anti-ice protection is connected to HPC stage 7, the air intake cowl and the EEC
units. It is composed of NAI push-buttons (in the cockpit), two valves, two pressure sensors,
tubes, ducts and coupling seals.

For Training Purposes Only

Nacelle Anti-Ice Protection System - Operation

When the "NAI ON" mode is selected in the flight deck, the PRSOVs regulate the pressure
being supplied to the air intake cowl. Both PRSOVs in cascade prevent “Pump Cavitation”
effect.

NAI - PRSOV 1 and 2

The nacelle anti-ice valves regulate the HPC stage 7 bleed air to the engine air intake cowl.

For Training Purposes Only

Course Outline LEAP-1A

NAI - Pressure Sensors 1 and 2

The two Pressure Transducers (PTs) measure bleed pressure for control purposes.

Fire Detection

The fire detection system consists of the fan fire detectors around the fan section and the
core fire detectors around the core section. It detects fire occurrence and sends an alert to the
flight deck.

Engine Fire Extinguishing

The engine fire extinguishing system is installed in the engine pylon. It extinguishes fire in the
nacelle protected zones and prevents engine fire from spreading.

Powerplant Power Sources

The powerplant provides electrical power, hydraulic power and pneumatic to the aircraft.

For Training Purposes Only

CFM Proprietary Information Page 15
Course Outline LEAP-1A

Electrical Power

The IDG is located on the forward face of the AGB, at 7 o'clock. The IDG converts mechanical
power into electrical power.

Hydraulic Power

The EDP is located on the forward face of the AGB, at 8 o'clock. It pressurizes the hydraulic
fluid. The EDP drain filter, located at 9 o'clock, removes particules from the hydraulic fluid to
prevent contamination of the circuit.

For Training Purposes Only

Course Outline LEAP-1A

Pneumatic

The pneumatic system components are located on the right side of the engine core and
pylon. They deliver air to the pylon.

Drain Pipes - Left Hand Side

The LHS drain system ports overboard all excess accumulated fluids from : the LHS VBV,
VSV, MTC actuators, the HPTACC, LPTACC valves, the FP, the IDG, the EDP, the
handcranking pad, the pylon and sump A.
