## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: ON MONDAY, MAY 22, 1995, N342UA, A BOEING 737-322 OPERATED BY UNITED AIRLINES AS FLT. 1185, A NORMALLY SCHEDULED FLIGHT FROM NEWARD, NJ, TO DENVER, CO, EXPERIENCED THE LOSS OF THRUST FROM THE NUMBER ONE ENGINE. THE ENGINE, S/N 721719, WHILE IN NORMAL CRUISE CONFIGURATION HAD A LOUD POP FOLLOWED BY AN INCREASE IN EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE (EGT) FOLLOWED BY A DECREASE IN N1, N2 AND FUEL FLOW. AN EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED AND AN UNEVENTFUL SINGLE ENGINE LANDING WAS MADE AT THE LINCOLN MUNICIPAL AIRPORT, LINCOLN, NE. THE INITIAL MAINTENANCE INVESTIGATION REVEALED LARGE AMOUNTS OF METAL IN THE TAIL PIPE. THE NUMBER ONE ENGINE WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED AND THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE. A DETAILED ENGINE TEARDOWN ANALYSIS IS TO BE SENT TO THE SAN FRANCISCO CMO, AWP-SMO-29.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
