Narrative:
The wind was calm when we landed immediately after a heavy L1011 took off. We experienced an air burble in the flair from the jet blast. We also experienced light buffeting during roll out. Normal reverse was established at 70 degrees north, and held until 80 KTS. At 70 KTS all 3 engine reverse levers were in the stowed position. At about 50 KTS 2 loud bangs were heard. #1 and #3 engines had compressor stalled. They were shut down. #2 engine was normal and we taxied to the gate on 1 engine. Reverse and landing procedures were normal. The heavy aircraft had lifted off right about where the engines stalled. Calm winds, heavy aircraft with strong wing vortices and engines with a history of stall problems (JT9D- 20J) combined to created a problem on what should have been a normal landing.

Title: 2 OF 3 JT9D-20J PRATT AND WHITNEY ENGS OF A DC10 STALLED AFTER RETURNING OUT OF REVERSE THRUST DURING LNDG ROLL. WAKE TURB OF A DEPARTING WDB SUSPECTED.
Narrative: THE WIND WAS CALM WHEN WE LANDED IMMEDIATELY AFTER A HVY L1011 TOOK OFF. WE EXPERIENCED AN AIR BURBLE IN THE FLAIR FROM THE JET BLAST. WE ALSO EXPERIENCED LIGHT BUFFETING DURING ROLL OUT. NORMAL REVERSE WAS ESTABLISHED AT 70 DEGS N, AND HELD UNTIL 80 KTS. AT 70 KTS ALL 3 ENG REVERSE LEVERS WERE IN THE STOWED POS. AT ABOUT 50 KTS 2 LOUD BANGS WERE HEARD. #1 AND #3 ENGS HAD COMPRESSOR STALLED. THEY WERE SHUT DOWN. #2 ENG WAS NORMAL AND WE TAXIED TO THE GATE ON 1 ENG. REVERSE AND LNDG PROCS WERE NORMAL. THE HVY ACFT HAD LIFTED OFF RIGHT ABOUT WHERE THE ENGS STALLED. CALM WINDS, HVY ACFT WITH STRONG WING VORTICES AND ENGS WITH A HISTORY OF STALL PROBS (JT9D- 20J) COMBINED TO CREATED A PROB ON WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A NORMAL LNDG.
