## Narrative

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

AFTER TAKEOFF AT 100' THE CREW HEARD A NOISE AND THE #1 ENGINE EGT ROSE TO 1100 DEGREES. ON CLIMB AT 400' THE CREW RECEIVED NOTICE FROM ANOTHER AIRCRAFT THAT FLAMES WERE COMING FROM THE L/H ENGINE. ENGINE PARAMETERS SHOWED EGT EXCEEDENCE WITH N1 & N2 NORMAL. CREW THEN RECEIVED NOTICE FROM THE PASSENGERS AND CABIN CREW THAT THERE WERE FLAMES COMING FROM THE LEFT ENGINE. RAN EMER CHECKLIST AND RETURNED TO EWR TO DO AN OVER WEIGHT LANDING.  THE NUMBER ONE ENGINE CONTINUED TO  RUN AT IDLE UNTIL IT QUIT ON ITS OWN ON FINAL APPROACH. THE AIRCRAFT EXITED THE RUNWAY AT THE LAST EXIT.  ON THE TAXIWAY CREW REQUESTED FIRE RESCUE TO REPORT STATUS OF THE LEFT ENGINE AND BRAKES.  FIRE / RESCUE REPORTED NO SMOKE OR FIRE ON THE LEFT ENGINE AND THAT THE BRAKES WERE HOT. CHOCKS WERE REQUESTED BUT WERE NOT PROVIDED. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES THE TIRES STARTED DEFLATING AND AT THIS POINT THE BRAKES WERE COOLED BY WATER JETS FROM FIRE/RESCUE VEHICLES. THE PASSENGERS WERE DEPLANED WITHOUT THE USE OF SLIDES TO AWATING BUSES. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED.

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.
