Narrative:

During climb out from dtw, passing through FL300, we heard a loud bang, felt some vibration. #1 egt went to 981 degrees. Flight attendants reported seeing a brief 'fireball' from #1 engine. Captain accomplished 'initial action items' for what we believed was an 'engine surge.' engine run ok at idle power. Captain ran the checklist, communicated with flight attendants, made passenger PA and notified company. Initially chose cvg to divert, then switched to day, when a bleed air odor intensified. Set up high key directly over day, and then made right traffic for runway 24R. Flew at +310 KIAS to facilitate descent below 10000 ft. I configured aircraft on base leg at 170 KIAS with flaps 5 degrees (vref 20 = 138 KIAS). I think #1 lost idle power, it took a large thrust addition on #2 to catch/maintain 150 KIAS and this shallowed the turn to final. Had overshooting winds from northwest, so overshot final a bit. Established final over actra FAF at 150 KIAS with gear down/flaps 20 degrees. Final approach and landing were uneventful. Used brakes and minimum idle reverse to stop abeam taxiway U on runway 24R. Fire trucks converged. Ir scan revealed no hot spots. Taxied to gate. Postflt inspection revealed particles in #1 tailpipe suggesting some type of internal failure. Maintenance analysis pending. Biggest lesson learned: real-life emergency workload and noise much higher than simulator can emulate. This combines to try and distract one from the first priority -- fly the airplane! Concentration is key.

Title: B767 FLC HAS ENG FAILURE DURING CLB TO ALT.

Narrative: DURING CLBOUT FROM DTW, PASSING THROUGH FL300, WE HEARD A LOUD BANG, FELT SOME VIBRATION. #1 EGT WENT TO 981 DEGS. FLT ATTENDANTS RPTED SEEING A BRIEF 'FIREBALL' FROM #1 ENG. CAPT ACCOMPLISHED 'INITIAL ACTION ITEMS' FOR WHAT WE BELIEVED WAS AN 'ENG SURGE.' ENG RUN OK AT IDLE PWR. CAPT RAN THE CHKLIST, COMMUNICATED WITH FLT ATTENDANTS, MADE PAX PA AND NOTIFIED COMPANY. INITIALLY CHOSE CVG TO DIVERT, THEN SWITCHED TO DAY, WHEN A BLEED AIR ODOR INTENSIFIED. SET UP HIGH KEY DIRECTLY OVER DAY, AND THEN MADE R TFC FOR RWY 24R. FLEW AT +310 KIAS TO FACILITATE DSCNT BELOW 10000 FT. I CONFIGURED ACFT ON BASE LEG AT 170 KIAS WITH FLAPS 5 DEGS (VREF 20 = 138 KIAS). I THINK #1 LOST IDLE PWR, IT TOOK A LARGE THRUST ADDITION ON #2 TO CATCH/MAINTAIN 150 KIAS AND THIS SHALLOWED THE TURN TO FINAL. HAD OVERSHOOTING WINDS FROM NW, SO OVERSHOT FINAL A BIT. ESTABLISHED FINAL OVER ACTRA FAF AT 150 KIAS WITH GEAR DOWN/FLAPS 20 DEGS. FINAL APCH AND LNDG WERE UNEVENTFUL. USED BRAKES AND MINIMUM IDLE REVERSE TO STOP ABEAM TXWY U ON RWY 24R. FIRE TRUCKS CONVERGED. IR SCAN REVEALED NO HOT SPOTS. TAXIED TO GATE. POSTFLT INSPECTION REVEALED PARTICLES IN #1 TAILPIPE SUGGESTING SOME TYPE OF INTERNAL FAILURE. MAINT ANALYSIS PENDING. BIGGEST LESSON LEARNED: REAL-LIFE EMER WORKLOAD AND NOISE MUCH HIGHER THAN SIMULATOR CAN EMULATE. THIS COMBINES TO TRY AND DISTRACT ONE FROM THE FIRST PRIORITY -- FLY THE AIRPLANE!
