Narrative:

On initial departure from dtw runway 21R, passing 2500 ft MSL captain (pilot at controls) directed me to bring flaps to 0 degree position. Soon after at approximately 200 KIAS, I noticed slight roll (to left) and yaw (nose left). Immediately I noticed fuel flow left engine at 0 ppm (pounds per hour). Confirmed indication with N1, N2, and egt gauges, all indicated flameout of left engine. At that point, captain leveled aircraft off at 3000 ft MSL, and I notified ATC (dtw departure) of our situation declared emergency. Once we accelerated past 223 KIAS (vzf) captain directed me to retract slats and read 'engine failure/flameout checklist.' while captain still at controls and handling ATC communications I read checklist while ensuing captain concurrence prior to movement of any cockpit switches. Flight attendants and dispatch were notified as soon as workload allowed. Since our takeoff was made at near maximum takeoff weight we told dispatch to verify landing performance/rollout for runway 21R (longest runway with approximately 12000 ft usable length). Dispatch concurred with our performance data. Climb, descent, approach and landing checklists were completed and captain made an uneventful landing at dtw. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated the aircraft was a DC9-50 with JT8D-17 engines. The reporter said the flameout was caused by failure of the engine driven fuel pump.

Title: A DC9-50 ON CLB AT 2500 FT DECLARED AN EMER AND DIVERTED DUE TO #1 ENG FLAMEOUT CAUSED BY A FAILED ENG DRIVEN FUEL PUMP.

Narrative: ON INITIAL DEP FROM DTW RWY 21R, PASSING 2500 FT MSL CAPT (PLT AT CTLS) DIRECTED ME TO BRING FLAPS TO 0 DEG POS. SOON AFTER AT APPROX 200 KIAS, I NOTICED SLIGHT ROLL (TO L) AND YAW (NOSE L). IMMEDIATELY I NOTICED FUEL FLOW L ENG AT 0 PPM (LBS PER HR). CONFIRMED INDICATION WITH N1, N2, AND EGT GAUGES, ALL INDICATED FLAMEOUT OF L ENG. AT THAT POINT, CAPT LEVELED ACFT OFF AT 3000 FT MSL, AND I NOTIFIED ATC (DTW DEP) OF OUR SIT DECLARED EMER. ONCE WE ACCELERATED PAST 223 KIAS (VZF) CAPT DIRECTED ME TO RETRACT SLATS AND READ 'ENG FAILURE/FLAMEOUT CHKLIST.' WHILE CAPT STILL AT CTLS AND HANDLING ATC COMS I READ CHKLIST WHILE ENSUING CAPT CONCURRENCE PRIOR TO MOVEMENT OF ANY COCKPIT SWITCHES. FLT ATTENDANTS AND DISPATCH WERE NOTIFIED AS SOON AS WORKLOAD ALLOWED. SINCE OUR TKOF WAS MADE AT NEAR MAX TKOF WT WE TOLD DISPATCH TO VERIFY LNDG PERFORMANCE/ROLLOUT FOR RWY 21R (LONGEST RWY WITH APPROX 12000 FT USABLE LENGTH). DISPATCH CONCURRED WITH OUR PERFORMANCE DATA. CLB, DSCNT, APCH AND LNDG CHKLISTS WERE COMPLETED AND CAPT MADE AN UNEVENTFUL LNDG AT DTW. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR STATED THE ACFT WAS A DC9-50 WITH JT8D-17 ENGS. THE RPTR SAID THE FLAMEOUT WAS CAUSED BY FAILURE OF THE ENG DRIVEN FUEL PUMP.
