B777-200 IN CRUISE AT FL360 DIVERTED DUE TO COMPRESSOR STALL AND LOSS OF PWR ON THE R ENG. ENG OPERATED AT IDLE PWR.

Narrative

LEVEL AT FL360; HAD A COMPRESSOR STALL ON THE R ENG. PER THE CHKLIST; THE ENG WAS REDUCED TO IDLE THRUST. WE THEN HAD TO DIVERT TO ZZZZ. FUEL WAS DUMPED TO GET BELOW LNDG WT (APPROX 6000 LBS). LNDG WAS UNEVENTFUL ON RWY 33. AFTER WALKAROUND; NO VISIBLE DAMAGE TO ENG. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR STATED THE R ENG HAD A COMPRESSOR PROB BUT NO INFO WAS RELEASED BY MAINT OTHER THAN IT WAS AN ENG CHANGE. THE RPTR SAID THE ENG WAS IN THE SHOP FOR TEARDOWN. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 611614: ENG WAS NOT SHUT DOWN. DRIFTDOWN CHKLIST RAN; DSCNT TO FL230 INITIATED; CLRNC GIVEN BY ATC TO REMAIN ON COURSE TO FL230. WE WERE IN VHF COM WITH CTR; BUT NOT IN RADAR CONTACT. COORD EFFORTS BEGAN; WITH SATVOICE CONFERENCE WITH DISPATCH AND MAINT. A COORD FUEL DUMP OF ABOUT 6000 LBS WAS ACCOMPLISHED. FLT ATTENDANTS BRIEFED; AND A CABIN ADVISORY WAS ORDERED. PAX APPROPRIATELY BRIEFED BY CAPT. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 611626: DISCUSSIONS WITH DISPATCH ON SATCOM COMS CONFIRMED THAT THE ETOPS ALTERNATE WAS THE MOST SUITABLE. WE FLEW FOR ABOUT 1 HR 30 MINS USING ONLY THE L ENG FOR SIGNIFICANT THRUST. WE HAD EXCELLENT HELP THROUGHOUT THE DIVERSION FROM OUR DISPATCH PERSONNEL; THE CTLRS; AND THE PEOPLE OF ZZZZ. ONE PLT CTLED THE ACFT. ONE PLT COMMUNICATED WITH DISPATCH AND MAINT. THE THIRD PLT WENT THROUGH THE CHKLISTS WITH THE OP PLT. AT TIMES WE ALL CAME TOGETHER TO DISCUSS PRESENT INFO AND FUTURE NEEDS. IT SEEMED JUST LIKE THE SIMULATOR AND THE TRAINING WORKED VERY WELL. WE DID NOTE THAT THE INITIAL DSCNT FROM CRUISE WAS STEEPER THAN NECESSARY DUE TO RETARDING BOTH ENGS DURING THE IMMEDIATE ACTION STEPS IN THE ATTEMPT TO REDUCE ANY FUTURE COMPRESSOR STALLS.
