Narrative:

In sum: during normal climb out and preparing to transition to intermediate level cruise, we heard a loud bang and definite nose kick as the autoplt corrected. #1 engine EPR 20-30 percent less than #2 engine. The N1 and N2 were stable, egt was 20 degrees higher than #2 engine. When attempting to change power settings induced major vibrations, but hydraulics and electrical were normal. The power was set at 1.2 EPR which was the quietest setting and almost normal final approach power. Diversion to alb completed with no further problems. Some items of concern. We do not have a partial power checklist. I used the single engine checklist. The captain was too preoccupied with the situation to direct actions. I had to use CRM to get a lot of things done, flight attendant briefing, calm the passenger, and run the checklist. We used the less than 10 mins drill to prepare the passenger.

Title: AN MLG TRANSPORT HAD L ENG FAILURE AND DIVERTED TO ALB. DID NOT DECLARE AN EMER.

Narrative: IN SUM: DURING NORMAL CLBOUT AND PREPARING TO TRANSITION TO INTERMEDIATE LEVEL CRUISE, WE HEARD A LOUD BANG AND DEFINITE NOSE KICK AS THE AUTOPLT CORRECTED. #1 ENG EPR 20-30 PERCENT LESS THAN #2 ENG. THE N1 AND N2 WERE STABLE, EGT WAS 20 DEGS HIGHER THAN #2 ENG. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE PWR SETTINGS INDUCED MAJOR VIBRATIONS, BUT HYDS AND ELECTRICAL WERE NORMAL. THE PWR WAS SET AT 1.2 EPR WHICH WAS THE QUIETEST SETTING AND ALMOST NORMAL FINAL APCH PWR. DIVERSION TO ALB COMPLETED WITH NO FURTHER PROBS. SOME ITEMS OF CONCERN. WE DO NOT HAVE A PARTIAL PWR CHKLIST. I USED THE SINGLE ENG CHKLIST. THE CAPT WAS TOO PREOCCUPIED WITH THE SIT TO DIRECT ACTIONS. I HAD TO USE CRM TO GET A LOT OF THINGS DONE, FLT ATTENDANT BRIEFING, CALM THE PAX, AND RUN THE CHKLIST. WE USED THE LESS THAN 10 MINS DRILL TO PREPARE THE PAX.
