## Narrative

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

(-23) ON SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 2001 AT 1312E A CONTINENTAL AIRLINES FLIGHT 1031, A B-737-824, N37252 ABORTED A TAKE OFF AT 80KTS ON RUNWAY 4L IN EWR DUE TO BLACK SMOKE IN THE COCKPIT AND FORWARD CABIN. THE AIRCRAFT TAXIED BACK TO THE RAMP WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  CONTINENTAL AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE DETERMINED THAT AN ENGINEERING AUTHORIZATION (EC/RA# 7221-01096) PERFORMED ON BOTH ENGINES WAS THE CAUSE FOR THE SMOKE ENTERING THE AIRCRAFT.  THE ENGINEERING AUTHORIZATION WAS TO ADD LUBRICATION TO THE FAN DISK OF EACH ENGINE TO REDUCE VIBRATION.  AN EXCESS OF LUBRICATION WAS FOUND IN BOTH ENGINE INLETS.  THE ENGINES WERE WATER WASHED AND RAN AT TAKE OFF POWER FOR BURN OUT AND THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.  THE EA WAS CANCELLED FOR FUTURE USE.  NO FURTHER ACTION REQUIRED.

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.
