CFM56-5 / A320 family engines

Claims that the A319 uses the CFM56-5B8 & CFM56-5B9 @ 21.600 & 23.300 lbs takoff thrust respectively. The 5B9 is also applied to the A319CJ, which is essentially the same as the A319LR, so it can be added there as well, along with the 5B6 & 5B7.
Currently only the 5B5 to 7 are in game for the A319 and the LR uses a generic CFM56-5B

Additionally, the newer B versions of the CFM56-5 feature a lower fuel burn (for all members of the A320 family)

Most recently, as of November 2011, all deliveries are in CFM56-5B/3 PIP configuration. This new production standard provides 0.5% improved fuel efficiency and 1% lower maintenance cost.

This document contains many more engine variants, e. g. 5B4, 5B4/P, 5B4/P1, 5B4/2P, 5B4/2P1, 5B4/3, 5B4/3B1. All engine variants feature many subvariants with identical thrust but presumably slightly different fuel burn and maintenance, which should qualify them for application in AE.

This document matches engine variants to aircraft and shows the B8 & B9 only for the A318, so it might not be used for the A319. Nevertheless, the A319 features an additional V2527M-A5 engine providing a slightly higher thrust @ 24.800 lbs.

This one also seems to contain some information about various engines, especially some TSFC, although the data looks fairly consistent with what is in game.

Although there are many different engines and names for them, if they are very similar there is little point of putting the full range into AE, I will review this :P
