## Discrepancy

FLIGHT 743 DURING THE TAKEOFF ROLL FROM MIA THE CREW EXPERIENCED A VIBRATION ON THE NUMBER 3 ENGINE, THE TAKEOFF WAS ABORTED AND THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED BACK TO THE GATE WITHOUT ANY FURTHER INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE NR 3 ENGINE AND FOUND THE C-2 COMPRESSOR BLADES SHOWED EVIDENCE OF FOD DAMAGE, THE NR 3 ENGINE WAS REMOVED AND ANOTHER SERVICEABLE NR 3 ENGINE IS IN PROCESS OF INSTALLATION.  A SUPPLEMENT TO THIS SDR WILL FOLLOW.
