C. Reason
(1) Objective:
To provide recommendations to LEAP-1B operators specific to RTS following the Boeing 737 MAX grounding
period.
(2) Condition:
Applicable to all on-wing LEAP-1B engines delivered to operators which are in preservation at the time of the
Boeing 737 MAX ungrounding.
(3) Cause:
The Boeing 737 MAX grounding is a unique situation following which CFM would like to provide additional
engine recommendations based on Boeing 737-7/8/8200/9/10 Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) preservation
procedures, review of potential significant event causes, and general abundance of caution to reduce the
opportunity for operational disruption during the RTS period.
(4) Inspection:
This Service Bulletin recommends additional inspections and tests be performed prior to next flight to improve the
reliability of the LEAP-1B engines during the RTS period.
(5) Substantiation:
Substantiation is by analysis.
D. Description
This Service Bulletin gives specific recommendations related to on-wing LEAP-1B engines delivered to operators
which are in preservation during the Boeing 737 MAX grounding period. These recommendations are given
in three sections:
- Engine depreservation.
- Recommendations to minimize opportunity for an operational event.
- Precautionary tests.
E. Compliance
Category 2
CFM recommends that you do this Service Bulletin before next flight.
Impact B
This recommendation is to address a condition that may result in an Increased Rate of In-Flight Shutdowns
(IFSD), Take-Off Aborts (TOA), Air Turn Backs (ATB) or Diversions (DIV).

LEAP-1B-71-00-0007-01A-930A-D
Unless specified differently in the instructions that follow, CFM recommends all actions be done within 10 days
before the first flight of the aircraft after the original issuance of this Service Bulletin. It is not necessary to do the
actions again on subsequent flights if those flights are done within 30 days from the first flight.
- All applicable Boeing 737-7/8/8200/9/10 AMM preservation and depreservation procedures must be done
within this 30-day window.
- If the subsequent flight is done more than 30 days from the original flight, CFM recommends the actions be
done again and these guidelines be followed until normal scheduled service has restarted.
This Service Bulletin is offered to improve the reliability or performance of your CFM product, or to help prevent
the occurrence of the event or condition described in this Service Bulletin. If the operator elects not to participate
in the bulletin, that decision will be taken into consideration by CFM in evaluating future product performance
issues that may arise in the operator’s fleet.
F. Approval
The technical content of this Service Bulletin is approved by the FAA and under the Authority of DOA No.
EASA.21J.086.
G. Manpower
After you get access to the engine, you will need approximately 6 man-hours to do the inspection portion
of this Service Bulletin.
