Narrative:
On initial climb out [at] about 5;000 feet we received a lvl 3 alert (number 2 manifold failure). We retarded number 2 throttle to idle; referenced the QRH; and complied with land at nearest suitable airport. We told departure we had to return to [departure airport]. They gave us vectors to [the] runway and we landed uneventfully. Captain was pilot monitoring and first officer (first officer) was pilot flying. We had very good crew coordination and first officer flew a nice approach and landing with all QRH and appropriate checklists completed.number 2 air system manifold failurethese things happen (this airplane is [over 40] years old). You just have to learn to deal with them and do the required procedures in the event of a problem.
