Narrative:
On climb out from cun, all engine parameters were normal, the #1 engine temperature was reading slightly warmer than engine #2 and #3, however, well within normal parameters. At an altitude of 25000 ft #1 engine quit with no N2 or oil psi indication. Performed the appropriate engine fire, failure or severe damage checklist, declared an emergency, dumped fuel, returned to cun for normal approach and landing. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: this so said that he was on a B727-200 at the time of this event. He said that the engine appeared normal with the only variance being a slightly higher egt and possibly a higher oil temperature, but he could not remember. The shutdown, fuel dump and landing were fairly routine. This occurred at night and the flight crew deadheaded home the next morning and maintenance did not contact them further.

Title: B727-200 HAS THE #1 ENG FAIL DURING CLB AT FL250. THE FLC PERFORMED THE EMER CHKLISTS, DUMPED FUEL AND LANDED.
Narrative: ON CLBOUT FROM CUN, ALL ENG PARAMETERS WERE NORMAL, THE #1 ENG TEMP WAS READING SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN ENG #2 AND #3, HOWEVER, WELL WITHIN NORMAL PARAMETERS. AT AN ALT OF 25000 FT #1 ENG QUIT WITH NO N2 OR OIL PSI INDICATION. PERFORMED THE APPROPRIATE ENG FIRE, FAILURE OR SEVERE DAMAGE CHKLIST, DECLARED AN EMER, DUMPED FUEL, RETURNED TO CUN FOR NORMAL APCH AND LNDG. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THIS SO SAID THAT HE WAS ON A B727-200 AT THE TIME OF THIS EVENT. HE SAID THAT THE ENG APPEARED NORMAL WITH THE ONLY VARIANCE BEING A SLIGHTLY HIGHER EGT AND POSSIBLY A HIGHER OIL TEMP, BUT HE COULD NOT REMEMBER. THE SHUTDOWN, FUEL DUMP AND LNDG WERE FAIRLY ROUTINE. THIS OCCURRED AT NIGHT AND THE FLC DEADHEADED HOME THE NEXT MORNING AND MAINT DID NOT CONTACT THEM FURTHER.
