## Discrepancy

DURING CRUISE FLIGHT AT 36,000 FEET THE NR 3 ENGINE ROLLED BACK APPROXIMATELY 20 PERCENT.  THRUST LEVER INPUT HAD NO EFFECT ON ENGINE RPM AND 30 SECONDS AFTER INITIAL ROLLBACK THE NR 3 ENGINE FLAMED OUT.  FLIGHT CREW WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE NR 3 ENGINE.  FLIGHT CREW RETURNED TO DEPARTURE AIRPORT AND PERFORMED AN UNEVENTFUL LANDING.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE NR 3 ENGINE.
