another 777 engine failure

what is up with this?

NEW YORK

A jetliner carrying more than 250 people lost power in one of its two engines Wednesday but landed safely at a nearby airport, officials said.

The Boeing 777 plane landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport less than a half hour after the engine failed, said American Airlines spokesman Billy Sanez. Officials were investigating what caused the problem on Flight 134.

"The plane landed after the captain declared an emergency," Sanez said. "It's not a common incident, but the pilots are trained to deal with these situations."

The plane was en route to London from Los Angeles. Sanez said all the passengers would be put on another plane.

also this...

Date: 30 JAN 2001
Type: Boeing 777-31H

Flight 069 aborted its take-off run on runway 16 at low speed as a result of a failure within the left (No.1) engine. Although the failure was associated with a large compressor surge within the engine, no subsequent fire developed and the aircraft was able to safely return to the terminal building on its remaining serviceable engine. Failure of the Rolls Royce RB211 Trent 892 engine was a result of the release of a single blade from the low-pressure compressor (fan) rotor disk. The blade release caused extensive damage to the remainder of the fan and the intake shroud, however the event was fully contained. The only escape of debris from the engine was small, low energy fragments, causing minor damage to the fuselage and the opposite engine.

seems to be the RR engines.

I'm no statistition. However, there seems to be quite a bit of time in between these failures. Also considering the number of 777s out there, that actually doesnt seem to be that bad is it?

A week ago, there was a Air India 777 that took off just before us in YYZ. 12 mins into it, they declared an emergency, got vectors & began to offload the gas. Not sure if it was a fire, failure, or precautionary shutdown.
2 cents, pls

There's a bunch of United Airlines guys up from JFK right now in an Air Canada hangar to do the engine change.... Apparently United does an awful lot of the Maintenance for Air India...

On September 18 at approximately 0420 UTC, a Malaysian Airline Systems B-777-200, registration 9M-MRM, experienced a shutdown of the right engine while about 40 miles northwest of Brisbane, Queensland, in Australia. The engine was restarted and the airplane returned to Brisbane. The incident is being investigated by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau.

On March 11, 2005, American Airlines flight 908, a Boeing B777, N790AN, experienced a right engine fire and aborted the takeoff at about 110 knots at Ezeiza International Airport (EZE), Buenos Aires, Argentina. The 14 crew and 195 passengers performed an emergency evacuation. The incident is being investigated by the Junta de Investigaciones de Accidentes de Aviación Civil (JIAAC), Republic of Argentina.

Clearly its a problem with the aircraft itself...

You mean the engines. Don't forget that Boeing doesn't make the engine, Rolls Royce does.

There are options for either GE or RR engines.
There is an emergency AD out for the GE engines. Apparently there have been power rollbacks on takeoff when using reduced take-off thrust or generally setting the N1 and temp using the computer.
The FAA has ordered that all 777 with GE engines do takeoffs with max takeoff power.
The problem stems from a software glitch ans should be corrected with a software upgrade.
See the link for the AD.

Is Air Canada's 777's going to have RR or GE engines?

Given GE's exclusivity on some 777 models and GECap's involvement in AC's bailout I'm guessing Trents

another 777 engine related problem:
apparently some of the GE's had a thrust rollback during takeoff.

Delta 777 diverted into YYT a few weeks back after having oil pressure problems (as in no oil pressure) with an engine. Word is they didn't shut it down to avoid ETOPS certification ramifications.
