Narrative:A Lockheed L-1011 TriStar, registration CS-TEB lined up on runway 03 at Lisbon International Airport to perform a flight to Lagos, Nigeria.
When applying takeoff power, engine #1 responded with a delay compared to the other engines, creating a thrust asymmetry that was easily controlled using the rudder, while an overboost was recorded, with the EGT reaching 620°C.
Two to three seconds later, at around 120 knots, the crew heard two successive “bangs”, accompanied by flashes coming from the exhaust nozzle of engine #3.
The captain decided to abort the takeoff and return to the apron.
Cause of the incident
The failure of engine #3 was caused by the separation of the abradable lining from the first stage of the high pressure compressor (HPC).
