A Republic Airways Embraer ERJ-170 on behalf of United, registration N632RW performing flight UA-3507 from Houston Intercontinental,TX to Pittsburgh,PA (USA) with 69 people on board, was enroute at FL290 about 100nm southwest of Nashville,TN (USA) when the crew decided to divert reporting engine (CF34) problems, they had lost one engine and the other was only providing minimal power. When the crew contacted Nashville Approach (who was already working to send all other traffic into holds and hand them off his frequency to have only the emergency on his frequency), the controller queried immediately before issuing any instruction "did you get your engines back?", the crew responded in the negative ("not yet, we are working on it"), however, about two minutes later advised they had completed their checklists and were now ready to accept vectors for Nashville subsequently adding, they now had their right hand engine up and providing power, the left hand engine was still down. Approach advised all runways except closed runway 02L/20R were available to them. The airport stopped all departures and arrivals, VFR flights near the aerodrome were instructed to keep away from the aerodrome, aircraft taxiing around the aerodrome were sent to the aprons, all runways were kept sterile. The aircraft was able to level off at 8000 feet and continue for a visual approach to Nashville's runway 13. While on final approach tower queried "just confirm, you do have full power on one of the engines?" to which the crew responded "yes!". The aircraft landed safely on runway 13 about 27 minutes after leaving FL290 and vacated the runway. Immediately after the airport resumed departures and arrivals. The crew, already on ground frequency, requested emergency services to check their left engine. Emergency services reported they saw no damage and no smoke.
