(-23) ON 02/27/2002, A COMAIR CL-600-2B19, N991CA, DEPARTED THE OUTAGAMIE COUNTY AIRPORT (ATW) IN APPLETON, WI. WHILE CLIMBING THROUGH 3000 FEET, THE CREW EXPERIENCED A VIBRATION AND NUMBER 2 ENGINE FAILURE. AFTER SECURING THE ENGINE, THE CREW DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND THEN LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENTS. UPON ARRIVING AT THE SCENE, A VISUAL INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE REMAINDER OF THE ENGINE AFT OF THE HIGH PRESSURE TURBINE MODULE WAS MISSING. THE MISSING SECTION OF THE ENGINE WAS FOUND IN A FIELD THE NEXT DAY. DURING CONVERSATIONS WITH INSPECTORS FROM THE COMAIR CMO IT WAS LEARNED THAT A VISUAL INSPECTION WAS PERFORMED AT THE COMAIR FACILITY IN ERLANGER, KY. THIS INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE SCREENS IN THE "B" SUMP IN THE SCAVENGE OIL SYSTEM HAD COKING, THE FORWARD SCREEN WAS 80% BLOCKED AND THE REAR SCREEN WAS 100% BLOCKED. AD 2001-19-02 ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE. THE INSPECTION REQUIRED BY THIS AD WAS PERFORMED APPROXIMATELY 407 HOURS PRIOR TO FAILURE. THIS ENGINE WAS ON A 500 HOUR REPETITIVE INSPECTION CYCLE AT THE TIME OF FAILURE.
