## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS NOT GROUNDED: AN EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED AND THE AIRCRAFT RETRUNED TO MIA DUE TO THE FLIGHT CREW REPORTING THAT DURING CLIMB OUT PASSENGERS AND FLIGHT ATTENDANTS REPORTED A COWLING DEPARTED THE AIRCRAFT ON TAKEOFF. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED SAFELY AT MIA AND TAXIED TO THE GATE DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND RETURNED TO MIA. MAINTENANCE REPORTED THAT WHILE PERFORMING WALK AROUND DURING OVERWEIGHT INSPECTION PER AMM 05-51-11 IT WAS NOTED THERE WERE NO COWLINGS THAT DEPARTED THE AIRCRAFT. THE ONLY PIECES MISSING ARE ON THE LEFT WING #3 FLAP TRACK FAIRING WHICH ARE THE AFT UPPER COVER AND TAIL CONE WHICH WERE DOCUMENTED AS BEING REMOVED ON 20 FEB 2026 AND ARE CURRENTLY ON DEFERRAL PER CDL 27-05 WHICH REQUIRED THEM TO BE REMOVED PER AMM 57-55-00-040. NO OTHER MAINTENANCE ACTION WAS REQUIRED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS DETERMINED TO BE OK FOR FURTHER SERVICE.
