As reported to the FAA. Reports are unverified, and codes are left as the FAA publishes them.

What was found

(CAN) THE NR 2 ENGINE FLAMED OUT. AFTER THE PILOT LANDED THE AIRCRAFT SUCCESSFULLY, REMOVE THE AFCU, MFCU AND ENGINE DRIVEN FUEL PUMP. I FOUND THE FUEL PUMP SPLINES WITH NO LUBRICATION AND WORN WELL BEYOND LIMITS. (NOTE: THE SPLINED ADAPTER WAS SPINNING FREELY ON PUMP INPUT SPLINES.)
