Narrative:

Taxied from terminal to run up area runway 35 at pueblo airport. Everything seemed normal, as far as engine functions. Completed all checklists. Received takeoff clearance from the tower and started takeoff roll. All mandatory calls were made, once we reached V1/vr, rotated the aircraft. Immediately after V1/vr the right engine surged 3 or 4 times then autofeathered. Emergency checklist was followed. Reached pattern altitude and ran through the single engine landing checklist. I called for the emergency veh to standby. No emergency was declared and we landed west/O incident. It was my intention to declare an emergency but there wasn't much time to.
