Narrative:

During takeoff, at rotation the right engine started compressor stalling and lost thrust. We continued the takeoff, retracted the gear, then throttled the engine to idle to end the compressor stalls. We cleaned up the plane, turned downwind to stay in the traffic pattern, and performed our checklists. We left the engine running at idle (all indications were normal), flew a visual approach, and landed on the same runway we departed from. The landing went without incident and we taxied back to the gate. All company procedures were followed before, during and after the incident. Our good company training allowed us to perform very well in a difficult situation.

Narrative: DURING TKOF, AT ROTATION THE R ENG STARTED COMPRESSOR STALLING AND LOST THRUST. WE CONTINUED THE TKOF, RETRACTED THE GEAR, THEN THROTTLED THE ENG TO IDLE TO END THE COMPRESSOR STALLS. WE CLEANED UP THE PLANE, TURNED DOWNWIND TO STAY IN THE TFC PATTERN, AND PERFORMED OUR CHKLISTS. WE LEFT THE ENG RUNNING AT IDLE (ALL INDICATIONS WERE NORMAL), FLEW A VISUAL APCH, AND LANDED ON THE SAME RWY WE DEPARTED FROM. THE LNDG WENT WITHOUT INCIDENT AND WE TAXIED BACK TO THE GATE.
