An Airbus A220-300 operated by Air Canada, was conducting flight AC720 from Toronto/Lester B. Pearson Intl (CYYZ), ON to New York/LaGuardia (KLGA), NY.
During the approach runway 31 at KLGA, at approximately 2000 feet, the flight crew received an OE Factor (One Engine) on the Flight Management System (FMS) and the aircraft yawed at the same time. The flight crew performed a missed approach and completed the checklist. The right hand (RH) N1 rolled back to 30% and was unresponsive to the throttle movement. A precautionary shutdown on the RH engine was conducted, a Mayday was declared and the aircraft diverted to Newark Liberty Intl (KEWR), NJ where the it landed without further incident.
