Narrative:

On takeoff heard loud boom in back of aircraft. Decided to return for landing. On downwind I heard another 'boom' from tail of aircraft. At this point we had a little vibration in association with the boom. Now we declared an emergency followed by a normal landing. Aircraft was down till next day and was signed back off to be airworthy. We took same aircraft next day as flight from bdl to cle. We were cleared for takeoff runway 33 with wind 300 degrees at approximately 25 KTS. The right engine had less airflow during spool-up due to being on downwind side of fuselage. At this point the right engine did spool up slower. Knowing the problem we had with the aircraft the day before, and now the slow spool-up time on right engine, we decided not to takeoff. We asked to taxi off runway. I believed the spool time was normal due to the winds. The reason for al this is we wanted to get on runway a second time with more time to set brakes and do static run-up to check engines. When we ran engines up to 1.4 EPR, all engine indications normal. Released brakes and ran power to 2.0 EPR. All indications still normal--01% N1 both sides. Monitored instruments during takeoff roll and rotation--all normal. At 300-400' AGL right engine compressor stalled 3-4 times. Then appeared to flame out. Aircraft vibrated noticeably during stalls. Climbed aircraft to acceleration altitude and did all emergency and normal checklists. Declared emergency and did flaps 25 degree landing--all went normal. Looked at engine and found small pieces of compressor stall blades in bottom of engine nacelle.

Title: MLG HAS ENGINE FAILURE AFTER TKOF AND HAS TO RETURN LAND.

Narrative: ON TKOF HEARD LOUD BOOM IN BACK OF ACFT. DECIDED TO RETURN FOR LNDG. ON DOWNWIND I HEARD ANOTHER 'BOOM' FROM TAIL OF ACFT. AT THIS POINT WE HAD A LITTLE VIBRATION IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE BOOM. NOW WE DECLARED AN EMER FOLLOWED BY A NORMAL LNDG. ACFT WAS DOWN TILL NEXT DAY AND WAS SIGNED BACK OFF TO BE AIRWORTHY. WE TOOK SAME ACFT NEXT DAY AS FLT FROM BDL TO CLE. WE WERE CLRED FOR TKOF RWY 33 WITH WIND 300 DEGS AT APPROX 25 KTS. THE RIGHT ENG HAD LESS AIRFLOW DURING SPOOL-UP DUE TO BEING ON DOWNWIND SIDE OF FUSELAGE. AT THIS POINT THE RIGHT ENG DID SPOOL UP SLOWER. KNOWING THE PROB WE HAD WITH THE ACFT THE DAY BEFORE, AND NOW THE SLOW SPOOL-UP TIME ON RIGHT ENG, WE DECIDED NOT TO TKOF. WE ASKED TO TAXI OFF RWY. I BELIEVED THE SPOOL TIME WAS NORMAL DUE TO THE WINDS. THE REASON FOR AL THIS IS WE WANTED TO GET ON RWY A SECOND TIME WITH MORE TIME TO SET BRAKES AND DO STATIC RUN-UP TO CHK ENGS. WHEN WE RAN ENGS UP TO 1.4 EPR, ALL ENG INDICATIONS NORMAL. RELEASED BRAKES AND RAN PWR TO 2.0 EPR. ALL INDICATIONS STILL NORMAL--01% N1 BOTH SIDES. MONITORED INSTRUMENTS DURING TKOF ROLL AND ROTATION--ALL NORMAL. AT 300-400' AGL RIGHT ENG COMPRESSOR STALLED 3-4 TIMES. THEN APPEARED TO FLAME OUT. ACFT VIBRATED NOTICEABLY DURING STALLS. CLBED ACFT TO ACCELERATION ALT AND DID ALL EMER AND NORMAL CHKLISTS. DECLARED EMER AND DID FLAPS 25 DEG LNDG--ALL WENT NORMAL. LOOKED AT ENG AND FOUND SMALL PIECES OF COMPRESSOR STALL BLADES IN BOTTOM OF ENG NACELLE.
