B767 flight crew reported the RT ENG OVHT EICAS message illuminated in climb. The flight crew performed an air turn back and precautionary landing at departure airport.
First Officer (FO) was Pilot Flying (PF) and the Captain was pilot monitoring. The PF requested the autopilot to be engaged at approximately 4000 ft. As the aircraft climbed through approximately 16000 ft. on the ZZZZZ departure the RT ENG OVHT EICAS message illuminated as well as the corresponding light on the pedestal. The PM announced the EICAS message. The PM stated that the PF would continue flying as the PM completed the indicated checklist. The PM informed ATC that an aircraft issue was present and that vectors were requested in order to provide sufficient time to complete all appropriate steps. The PM calmly completed these steps as the PF continued flying the aircraft. The PM did an excellent job of coordinating and creating a team atmosphere and queried the PF on several occasions assuring that I was fully informed and comfortable with each sequence of events. [Priority handling was requested] and once the necessary steps were completed; vectors were received to join the ZZZZZ1 arrival. The PM requested the ILS XXL to ZZZ. The PF completed a successful landing on XXL. After taxi in and shut down; Maintenance discovered a ruptured bleed air line in the right engine. I believe that the Company training department's strong commitment to SOP; procedure and CRM when conducting training for flight crews was instrumental in the successful outcome of this flight.
I was pilot monitoring and the First Officer (FO) was Pilot Flying (PF). During climb on the ZZZZZ departure at around 15000 ft. MSL; RT ENG OVHT EICAS message displayed and the RT ENG OVHT light on the pedestal illuminated. We performed the appropriate checklist and I [requested priority handling]. I felt extremely confident in the First Officer's abilities and had them continue to fly while I managed the situation and worked the checklist. We made a successful return and landing at ZZZ. I entered the discrepancy in the logbook. Maintenance discovered a bleed air duct had come apart. I think our training and teamwork contributed greatly to the safe completion of our air turn back.
