Narrative:
During standard engine clearing procedure prior to takeoff, slight odor was observed in cabin but quickly dissipated. Since the aircraft had just returned from maintenance hangar, the odor was dismissed. On takeoff roll, the right engine compressor stalled and smoke entered the cabin. An emergency was declared and during landing roll, the engine caught fire. Ground arff extinguished the fire. No evacuate/evacuation was conducted and no one was injured. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated the cause of the engine failure was ingestion of ice or packed snow from the taxiway or runway on takeoff. The reporter said maintenance reported compressor damage from ice or packed snow.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: A DC9-50 ON TKOF AT V1 SPD HAD #2 ENG STALL. DECLARED EMER AND RETURNED TO THE FIELD. ON LNDG, #2 ENG CAUGHT FIRE, CAUSED BY INGESTION OF ICE AND SNOW ON TXWY OR RWY.
Narrative: DURING STANDARD ENG CLRING PROC PRIOR TO TKOF, SLIGHT ODOR WAS OBSERVED IN CABIN BUT QUICKLY DISSIPATED. SINCE THE ACFT HAD JUST RETURNED FROM MAINT HANGAR, THE ODOR WAS DISMISSED. ON TKOF ROLL, THE R ENG COMPRESSOR STALLED AND SMOKE ENTERED THE CABIN. AN EMER WAS DECLARED AND DURING LNDG ROLL, THE ENG CAUGHT FIRE. GND ARFF EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. NO EVAC WAS CONDUCTED AND NO ONE WAS INJURED. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR STATED THE CAUSE OF THE ENG FAILURE WAS INGESTION OF ICE OR PACKED SNOW FROM THE TXWY OR RWY ON TKOF. THE RPTR SAID MAINT RPTED COMPRESSOR DAMAGE FROM ICE OR PACKED SNOW.
