Synopsis
EMB-175 flight crew reported safely returning to departure airport after experiencing a 'BLEED 2 OVERPRESSURE'.
Narrative
During climbout out of ZZZ we received an EICAS message BLEED 2 OVERPRESSURE." After cleaning up the aircraft we ran the applicable QRH checklist. Resetting the bleed for 1 minute did not fix the issue. We let departure know that we needed to level off; run a checklist; and possibly return to ZZZ. We continued with the checklist; however the EICAS message remained annunciated. Therefore; we continued the checklist which advised us to bring the affected engine to idle and land at the nearest suitable airport. We [requested priority handling]; let departure know that we would be diverting back to ZZZ. Due to the engine now being at idle; the EICAS message extinguished. Per the QRH we ran the Engine out Descent - Approach checklist. Since the situation was now under control I didn't want to overcomplicate things by adding an overweight landing to a single engine landing. So I decided to hold until we were below our max landing weight before proceeding back to ZZZ. To be clear; I was not concerned with doing an overweight landing; but I felt it was unnecessary to add more complexity to the situation (a single engine landing coupled with an overweight landing); and since the EICAS message had extinguished I decided to take my time and get underweight first. After holding for about an hour; I safely accomplished a single engine landing (ENG2 at idle) on XXR in ZZZ. The fire trucks followed us into the gate with no additional issues.Cause: Unknown at this time; however the aircraft had been written up earlier that day for issues with PACK 2 and BLEED 2. Suggestions: Not Applicable"
Second reporter narrative
On ZZZZZ8 departure; prior to completing After Takeoff Checklist"; EICAS indicated BLEED 2 OVERPRESS. We cleaned up the aircraft and proceeded with QRH BLEED (1 or 2) OVERPRESS checklist. After completing section one and two; the EICAS indication remained illuminated. We requested to level off and delayed vectors and proceeded with the third section to complete the checklist. Upon bringing the associated thrust lever to idle; the message extinguished. With the checklist complete and the aircraft under control; we informed dispatch; crew; passengers; and ATC of our return to ZZZ (our nearest airport). Under the guidance of the QRH; we proceeded with the Engine Out Descent Checklist; noting that an immediate landing would be overweight. We reviewed the QRH guidance on overweight landings and determined that landing with additional considerations in (at the time) gusty conditions with asymmetric thrust was not in our best interest. With the EICAS message extinguished; and the plane and passengers under control; we requested to continue the delayed vectors long enough to burn the fuel required for a normal landing to eliminate additional threats. Upon further reflection and conversation with the Chief Pilot; I recognize that the phraseology "land at nearest suitable airport" as indicated by the QRH has a time implication; and in the future; would reconsider the overweight landing. We proceeded inbound; completed the Engine Out Landing Checklist accordingly; and landed without further incident."
