Incident Overview
Shortly after takeoff, while climbing through approximately 1,000 feet, the right engine of a Boeing 767 suffered an uncontained failure. The flight crew shut down the affected engine and promptly returned to the airport for an overweight landing.
Post-Event Examination
A detailed examination of the failed engine was conducted. It revealed that three vanes in the fifth stage of the low pressure turbine had fractured due to fatigue. The debris from the engine impact caused minor damage to various parts of the aircraft's right side, including the lower wing surface, fuselage, landing gear doors, and wing flaps.
Outcome
The aircraft landed safely despite the overweight condition. The damage was limited to superficial cosmetic issues on the right side of the airframe. No further operational issues were reported.
