## Discrepancy

WHILE EN ROUTE, AN EMERGENCY LANDING WAS REQUIRED FOR FUEL STOP (DUE TO A COMBINATION OF LONG TAXI TIME IN EWR AND WEATHER EN ROUTE).  THE AIRCRAFT WAS DIVERTED TO JAX AND WHILE ON FINAL APPROACH THE NR 1 ENGINE FAILED.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED AT JAX WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE FOUND INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE NR 1 ENGINE NOSE COWL, BELIEVED TO BE CAUSED BY SEPARATION OF A FAN BLADE.  THE NR 1 ENGINE WILL BE REMOVED AND REPLACED.  *S/D*  INVESTIGATION CONCLUDED THAT THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF ENGINE FAILURE WAS DUE TO SEPARATION OF A FAN BLADE CAUSED BY FOD.
