General Electric CF34-8C5A3

General Electric CF34-8C5A3 exact turbofan variant in the CF34-8 series. EASA rates normal five-minute takeoff thrust at 64.54 kN (14,510 lbf), maximum takeoff thrust at 64.54 kN (14,510 lbf), and maximum continuous thrust at 60.84 kN (13,680 lbf). EASA and FAA safety material independently list CF34-8C5A3 among the exact GE CF34-8 models; no exact aircraft-family installation is asserted here without a source-specific relationship.
