SAE ARP5757B

This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) provides guidance for substantiating the airworthiness of aircraft engine components. Generally, these components are associated with the engine control system, the system or systems that allow the engine to provide thrust or power as demanded by the pilot of the aircraft while also ensuring the engine operates within acceptable operating limits. But these components may also include hardware and systems associated with engine lubrication, engine or aircraft hydraulic or electrical systems, aircraft environmental control systems, thrust reverser control, or similar aircraft or engine propulsion system functions. This paper develops the concept of using a standardized 26-item checklist of environmental conditions for evaluating aircraft engine component airworthiness. This approach is compatible with current practices used in the industry and has been accepted by engine certification authorities in conjunction with other guidance as described in FAA AC 33.91-1 and EASA AMC 80 as part of engine certification programs. ARP5757B is based on the previously issued ARP5757A to provide guidance on the methodology to conduct engine component tests. This revision reflects input received as part of the Five-Year Review process, which includes field learnings and a subsequent further understanding of environmental threats.
