## Discrepancy

ON TAKEOFF DEPARTING, WHILE CLIMBING THROUGH 1000' A LOUD BANG EMERGED FROM THE NR1 ENGINE. AN EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED AND THE ACFT RETURNED TO DEPARTURE WHERE IT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. POST FLIGHT INSP WAS PERFORMED NOTING THAT NR 1 ENGINE REQUIRES REPLACEMENT.  ENGINE WAS R & R, OPS CHECKS GOOD. NO OTHER DEFECTS NOTED ACFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
