    Name
    A300-600 GE CF6 family option
    Notes
    Airbus A300-600 planning data identifies GE CF6-80 engines; the canonical production relationship remains the existing CF6 family because no separate CF6-80C2 suffix node is present.

    Name
    A300-600 Pratt & Whitney PW4158 option
    Notes
    EASA/CAA certification material identifies PW4158 on the A300-600 branch; this exact relationship is scoped to the A300-600 child and is not generalized to earlier A300 variants or 600R/F4 branches.
