## Factual narrative

On February 23, 2017, during takeoff from São Paulo airport, the right hand engine of a Brazilian registered Airbus 320, registration number PT–MZY, lost power, causing a rejected takeoff and a temporary excursion from the runway. The Brazilian Centro de Investigaçáo e Prevençáo de Acidentes Aeronauticos (CENIPA) is investigating the incident. As the state of manufacture of the engines, the NTSB has designated a U.S. Accredited Representative under the provisions of ICAO Annex 13 to the Convention of Civil Aviation to assist the Brazilian CENIPA. All inquiries concerning this incident should be directed to the Brazilian Centro de Investigaçáo e Prevençáo de Acidentes Aeronauticos — CENIPA.
