A Fedex Federal Express Airbus A300-600 freighter, registration N748FD performing flight FX-1338 from Norfolk,VA to Memphis,TN (USA), was climbing out of Norfolk's runway 23 when the crew requested to level off at 3000 feet advising of an engine (PW4158) issue, they would need to return to Norfolk. The crew subsequently reported they were effectively single engine, declared emergency and returned to Norfolk for a safe landing on runway 23 about 25 minutes after departure.
The aircraft is still on the ground in Norfolk about 14 hours after landing.
