In response to posting 18; yes, it depends where it occurred. While pedantic, if the failure was on the ground during taxi then no, a report is not required. CFM56C4 to be exact (with personal experience - NBO on a particularly dark night).

The 'do you restart/relight a flamed out engine' will always be challenging, especially if something goes bang on the restart - management the world over will immediately take the moral high ground in that event and the biccies will not be supplied with the tea - in fact bring your own flask of tea as well.

We are fortunate in having Maintenance Control downlinking layers of engine parameters live, so they can help with the decision to restart, but it is still your hand on the Engine Master/HP valve/Speed Select.

Shawn, was reported to the safety authorities, who obviously thought it not worth their while to do anything with it.

Brian:
I wasn't referring directly to the incident that started the thread, but in general.
