The CFM56-5C series is at the highest thrust limit of the CFM56 family.
Despite being noted for high EGT margin erosion, the engine still manages
to achieve respectable on-wing intervals, and has few other removal
drivers. Modifications should improve EGT margin retention and so reduce
maintenance reserves.
