What happened
On March 5, 2011, the crew of Emirates Airlines Flight 132, operating a Boeing 777-200ER (registration A6-EMH), reported hearing a loud noise originating from the area of the number two engine during takeoff from Moscow Domodedovo Airport (DME).
Following the noise, the crew requested that air traffic control perform a runway inspection. The response from controllers indicated that no debris had been found on the runway. Although the crew did not observe any abnormal engine parameters, they consulted the operator's maintenance control center (MCC) via satellite phone. After reviewing the downlink information, the MCC confirmed that flight control indications appeared normal, and the flight proceeded to Dubai International Airport (DXB).
Upon arrival at DXB, a walk-around inspection was performed by maintenance personnel. This inspection revealed that a large section of the inboard fan duct and the thrust reverser were missing from the engine.
