What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) On Wednesday, March 20, 2002, northwest airlines flight 366 departed dtw and was climbing through FL 33 when the lefthand engine experienced a compressor stall. Power was reduced to 2.0 epr and the crew elected to divert to buf. The engine was not shut down and the landing and disembarkation of the passengers at the terminal was accomplished unremarkably. Northwest airlines mechanics from atl arrived, replaced the p & d valve and the engine bleed valve. A large piece of cardboard tag was found in the inlet of the engine. A test run showed no improvement and the decision was then made to change the engine. The logbook history shows a compressor stall upon rpla earlier in the month. This incident is considered closed.
