AN MU300; ON TKOF CLB AT 500 FT; DECLARED AN EMER AND DIVERTED DUE TO LOSS OF PWR ON THE R ENG; CAUSED BY FAILED FUEL FLOW DIVIDER.

Narrative

THE APPLICANT AND I PERFORMED AN EXTERIOR PREFLT INSPECTION; AND ACCOMPLISHED ALL OF THE BEFORE START AND BEFORE TKOF CHKS WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE FIRST FLT TRAINING EVENT AFTER A NORMAL TKOF WAS AN ILS TO A MISSED APCH FOLLOWED BY TKOFS AND LNDGS IN CLOSED TFC. AFTER THE FIRST TOUCH-AND-GO ON RWY 4R; THE APPLICANT COMMENTED THAT WE HAD AN ENG FAILURE AS WE WERE CLBING THROUGH 400-500 FT AGL. FAN SPD WAS OBSERVED TO BE CLOSE TO 70%. I MANIPULATED THE THRUST LEVER TOWARD IDLE; THEN BACK TO THE TKOF POS. ENG SPD WOULD DECREASE NORMALLY; BUT THE FAN SPD WOULD STILL NOT EXCEED 70%. BY THE TIME WE REACHED THE DOWNWIND LEG OF THE TFC PATTERN; FAN SPD HAD DECREASED TO THE 20-25% RANGE; AND TURBINE SPD WAS LESS THAN 35%. I NOTIFIED LITTLE ROCK ATCT THAT WE HAD EXPERIENCED AN ENG FAILURE; AND REQUESTED THAT THE EMER VEHICLES BE DISPATCHED FOR OUR ARR. LITTLE ROCK ATCT ASKED FOR SOULS ONBOARD AND FUEL ONBOARD; TO WHICH I REPLIED 2 AND 3 HRS RESPECTIVELY. SINCE THE TURB SPD WAS WELL BELOW THE NORMAL IDLE SPD; I ELECTED TO SHUT THE ENG DOWN. THE ENG FAILURE OR SHUTDOWN IN FLT EMER CHKLIST WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY ME WHILE THE APPLICANT FLEW THE AIRPLANE. THE SINGLE ENG APCH AND LNDG ABNORMAL CHKLIST WAS COMPLETED; AND WE FLEW THE ILS TO A SINGLE ENG LNDG ON RWY 4L. ONE OF THE FIRE TRUCKS FOLLOWED US TO THE RAMP; AND AFTER SHUTDOWN; A FIRE FIGHTER ASKED FOR MY NAME; VERIFIED THAT WE HAD 3 HRS OF FUEL ONBOARD (AS I HAD RPTED TO LITTLE ROCK ATCT); AND THE TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR THE OPERATOR WAS GIVEN TO HIM. THE AIRPLANE WAS THEN TAKEN TO THE OPERATOR'S FACILITY FOR MAINT. THE APPLICANT CALLED ME THIS MORNING (MAR/THU/03) AT XA47 CST AND ADVISED THAT MAINT HAD DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL FLOW DIVIDER HAD FAILED. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR STATED IT WAS THE R ENG THAT FAILED; AND THE FUEL DIVIDER WAS THE CAUSE OF THE LOSS OF PWR. THE RPTR SAID THE ACFT WAS MAINLY USED FOR TRAINING.
