SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VARIABLE GEOMETRY MECHANISM CONFIGURATION

A system and a method (700) for configuring at least one variable geometry mechanism (VGM) (42) of an aircraft engine (10) are provided. Pass-off testing data for the aircraft engine (10) is obtained, the pass-off testing data indicative of an actual value of at least one operating parameter of the aircraft engine (10). Based on the pass-off testing data, at least one trim value (504) to be used to adjust a setting of the at least one VGM (42) to bring the actual value of the at least one operating parameter towards a target value is determined, a running line of the aircraft engine (10) being substantially constant when the actual value of the at least one operating parameter is at the target value. The setting of the at least one VGM (42) is adjusted, during pass-off testing of the aircraft engine (10), using the at least one trim value (504).
