2019-03-23
N492UA, an Airbus 320-200 aircraft operated by United Airlines, was conducting flight UAL1799 from Toronto/Lester B. Pearson Intl (CYYZ), ON to Denver Intl (KDEN), CO with 5 crew members and 71 passengers on board. During the initial climb after the takeoff from Runway 33R at CYYZ, the flight crew was unable to control the thrust on the number one engine. The flight crew shut the engine (IAE V2500) down in accordance with QRH procedures, declared an emergency, and returned to CYYZ. The aircraft landed back on Runway 33R without further incident; there were no
reported injuries.
The operator’s maintenance replaced the Fuel Metering Unit and the Electronic Engine Control.

The aircraft was then returned to service.
