Narrative:
On rotation from arn (stockholm), right engine surge felt in cockpit, loud bangs, egt red zone blank EPR. Flight attendant reported flames from right engine visible in cabin. Crew utilized surge/compressor stall checklist, declared an emergency and returned to land on same runway. Right engine left at idle. ILS approach flown to runway 19. Brake fire after clearing runway self extinguished. Brake energy charts used to determine cooling before passenger deplaned using external steps. Relief pilot in cockpit for takeoff assisted in identing problem and running checklists. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated the engine was a P&W4060 with 25700 hours and had recently passed a performance test to allow it to remain in service. The reporter said the failure was reported to be bent or damaged turbine blades and the engine was replaced. The reporter said the right engine was never shut down but remained at idle power throughout the event. Callback conversation with reporter acn 456502 revealed the following information: the reporter stated that at rotation the right engine began surging with compressor stalls, high egt and loss of power. The reporter said the engine operated ok at idle power and was never shut down. The reporter stated the engine was replaced due to internal turbine damage.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: A B767-300 ON TKOF AT ROTATION DECLARED AN EMER AND RETURNED TO THE FIELD DUE TO #2 ENG LOSS OF PWR CAUSED BY DISTRESSED TURBINE SECTION.
Narrative: ON ROTATION FROM ARN (STOCKHOLM), R ENG SURGE FELT IN COCKPIT, LOUD BANGS, EGT RED ZONE BLANK EPR. FLT ATTENDANT RPTED FLAMES FROM R ENG VISIBLE IN CABIN. CREW UTILIZED SURGE/COMPRESSOR STALL CHKLIST, DECLARED AN EMER AND RETURNED TO LAND ON SAME RWY. R ENG LEFT AT IDLE. ILS APCH FLOWN TO RWY 19. BRAKE FIRE AFTER CLRING RWY SELF EXTINGUISHED. BRAKE ENERGY CHARTS USED TO DETERMINE COOLING BEFORE PAX DEPLANED USING EXTERNAL STEPS. RELIEF PLT IN COCKPIT FOR TKOF ASSISTED IN IDENTING PROB AND RUNNING CHKLISTS. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR STATED THE ENG WAS A P&W4060 WITH 25700 HRS AND HAD RECENTLY PASSED A PERFORMANCE TEST TO ALLOW IT TO REMAIN IN SVC. THE RPTR SAID THE FAILURE WAS RPTED TO BE BENT OR DAMAGED TURBINE BLADES AND THE ENG WAS REPLACED. THE RPTR SAID THE R ENG WAS NEVER SHUT DOWN BUT REMAINED AT IDLE PWR THROUGHOUT THE EVENT. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR ACN 456502 REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR STATED THAT AT ROTATION THE R ENG BEGAN SURGING WITH COMPRESSOR STALLS, HIGH EGT AND LOSS OF PWR. THE RPTR SAID THE ENG OPERATED OK AT IDLE PWR AND WAS NEVER SHUT DOWN. THE RPTR STATED THE ENG WAS REPLACED DUE TO INTERNAL TURBINE DAMAGE.
