## Discrepancy

NR ONE ENGINE FAILED AT 1000 FEET DURING DEPARTURE.  NR 1 ENGINE FLAMED OUT IN CRUISE.  FUEL PRESSURE DROPPED JUST PRIOR  TO FLAME OUT.   LABORATORY ANALYSIS HAS SHOWN THAT THE TUBE FAILURE WAS A RESULT OF A LATERAL OVERSTRESS BENDING FORCE, NOT A COMMON FAILURE MODE.  THIS FAILURE WAS PROBABLY A RESULT OF MAINTENANCE ACTIVITY.  AN ALERT BULLETIN HAS BEEN SENT TO ALL MAINTENANCE STATIONS.
