INTRODUCTION

This chapter describes the powerplant of the Canadair Challenger CL-600-2B16, model
CL-601-3A.
In addition to the basic powerplant information, the chapter also includes information
on all powerplant-related systems, such as engine oil, engine fuel, ignition, engine
power control, instrumentation, engine starting, engine speed control and APR sys-
tems, engine vibration monitoring, and thrust reversing.

GENERAL

The Canadair Challenger CL-601-3A is pow-
ered by two aft-fuselage-mounted turbofan
engines manufactured by the General Electric
Company.
The engines are modular in design to facilitate
maintenance and reduce airplane downtime.
Each engine incorporates self-contained oil,
fuel, and ignition systems in addition to a fire

and/or overheat detection system. A fire-ex-
tinguishing system is common to both en-
gines. Pneumatically operated cascade thrust
reversers are standard equipment.
Each engine is monitored during takeoff by an
electronically controlled automatic perfor-
mance (power) reserve system (APR). It will
automatically increase the permissible tem-
perature limits and thrust on the operating en-
gine if a power loss or failure occurs on the
opposite engine.
