## Narrative

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

(-23) ON MONDAY, JANUARY 22, 2001 AT 0943 LOCAL TIME, THE CREW OF A B-757-251 AIRCRAFT, N530US, OPERATED BY NORTHWEST AIRLINES, INC., NOTICED THE BEGINNING OF A SLOW DIMINISHMENT OF OIL QUANTITY IN THE NUMBER TWO POWER PLANT FOLLOWING TAKEOFF. AFTER LEVELINGOFF AT FL39, THE QUANTITY CONTINUED TO DECLINE, BUT THE PRESSURE REMAINED STABLE. FINALLY, THE PRESSURE LOW LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE CREW SHUT DOWN THE NUMBER TOW POWERPLANT. AN EMERGENCY LANDING WAS ACCOMPLISHED UNEVENTFULLY AT THE SYRACUSE HANCOCK INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. CONTRACT MAINTENANCE INVESTIGATED AND FOUND THE "O" RING MISSING ON THE NUMBER TWO POWERPLANT MAIN OIL FILTER. THE AIRCRAFT WAS JUST OUT OF AN "A" CHECK AT BOSTON THE PREVIOUS SHIFT. THIS MATTER IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION BY THE ROCHESTER FSDO. THIS INCIDENT IS CONSIDERED CLOSED.

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.
