POWER PLANT - ENGINE MOUNTS

General

There is a forward and aft mount. Each engine mount


attaches the engine to the strut. The forward engine
mount attaches to the fan frame. The aft engine mount
attaches to the turbine frame.

POWER PLANT - THRUST LINKS

General

There is a right hand and left hand side thrust link that
connects the rear engine mount to the fan frame.
Thrust links carry/counter act the moment forces of the
engine as well as carry a portion of the forward thrust.

Training Information Point

Thrust links have become worn by contact with the


thrust reverser insulation blankets. The blankets are
ballooning inward causing fretting to the links
approximately 6 to 10 inches aft of the forward end.
CAL has installed Teflon patches along section of the
blankets to act as a wear medium or buffer. Exposed
links should not be found fretted or worn.

remove a fan cowl.
Fan Cowl Latches

Three fan cowl latches secure the left and right fan
cowls together. All latches are along the bottom of the
fan cowls.

Fan Cowl Hold Open Rods

One end of each hold open rod attaches to the fan


cowl. When the cowl is closed, the other end attaches
to a receiver on the fan cowl. When the cowl is open,
the other end attaches to a receiver on the engine.
Each hold open rod is telescopic.

Each hold open rod has a collar that locks the hold
open rod in place. A yellow lock indication shows when
the hold open rod is in the locked position.
