Narrative:

Wind 290 degrees, 25 KTS. Takeoff on runway 1R. Upon power application, #3 engine compressor stalled due to high crosswind. Checked communication, no temperature or other limits were exceeded. Aircraft reached maximum speed of about 20 KTS on takeoff roll when stall occurred. Takeoff was immediately discontinued. Same thing happened on second attempt. Taxied to runway 28R, and made normal takeoff.

Title: A DC10 FLC ABORTS THE XWIND TKOF AT SFO ON RWY 1R WHEN THE DOWNWIND ENG HAS A COMPRESSOR STALL AT 20 KTS. ANOTHER ATTEMPT, SAME RESULT WITH A FINAL DEP INTO THE WIND ON RWY 28R.

Narrative: WIND 290 DEGS, 25 KTS. TKOF ON RWY 1R. UPON PWR APPLICATION, #3 ENG COMPRESSOR STALLED DUE TO HIGH XWIND. CHKED COM, NO TEMP OR OTHER LIMITS WERE EXCEEDED. ACFT REACHED MAX SPD OF ABOUT 20 KTS ON TKOF ROLL WHEN STALL OCCURRED. TKOF WAS IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUED. SAME THING HAPPENED ON SECOND ATTEMPT. TAXIED TO RWY 28R, AND MADE NORMAL TKOF.
