Narrative:

We were partially deiced at the gate and taxied to the deice pad for a complete deicing. Prior to engine start at the gate; we were informed by ground personnel that both engine intakes were clear of snow/ice. After the second deicing; both engines were started; engine anti-ice turned on. Flaps cycled down and up to ensure full function. We then taxied to runway 27L with flaps up; completed taxi and before takeoff checklists and set flaps for takeoff. Takeoff on runway 27L was uneventful until approximately 500 ft AGL. We then experienced a series of compressor stalls on the right engine. The captain disconnected the autothrottle; cleaned up the aircraft at approximately 1100 ft MSL and continued to climb to 3000 ft MSL with the right engine at a reduced power setting that greatly reduced or eliminated the compressor stalls. We declared an emergency and returned to ZZZ for landing on runway 27L; operating the right engine at reduced power (below 1.4 EPR) through the landing. Landing weight was approximately 141000 pounds. Touchdown was very smooth at less than 200-300 FPM. Right engine was shut down when we were clear of the runway. ZZZ crash fire rescue equipment inspected the aircraft and said there was no evidence of smoke or fire. Taxied back to the gate single engine. ZZZ maintenance personnel reported damage to the right engine compressor blades.

Title: FLT CREW OF MD80 EXPERIENCE COMPRESSOR STALLS FROM R ENG AFTER TKOF IN ICING CONDITIONS. DECLARE EMER AND RETURN TO DEP ARPT.

Narrative: WE WERE PARTIALLY DEICED AT THE GATE AND TAXIED TO THE DEICE PAD FOR A COMPLETE DEICING. PRIOR TO ENG START AT THE GATE; WE WERE INFORMED BY GND PERSONNEL THAT BOTH ENG INTAKES WERE CLR OF SNOW/ICE. AFTER THE SECOND DEICING; BOTH ENGS WERE STARTED; ENG ANTI-ICE TURNED ON. FLAPS CYCLED DOWN AND UP TO ENSURE FULL FUNCTION. WE THEN TAXIED TO RWY 27L WITH FLAPS UP; COMPLETED TAXI AND BEFORE TKOF CHKLISTS AND SET FLAPS FOR TKOF. TKOF ON RWY 27L WAS UNEVENTFUL UNTIL APPROX 500 FT AGL. WE THEN EXPERIENCED A SERIES OF COMPRESSOR STALLS ON THE R ENG. THE CAPT DISCONNECTED THE AUTOTHROTTLE; CLEANED UP THE ACFT AT APPROX 1100 FT MSL AND CONTINUED TO CLB TO 3000 FT MSL WITH THE R ENG AT A REDUCED PWR SETTING THAT GREATLY REDUCED OR ELIMINATED THE COMPRESSOR STALLS. WE DECLARED AN EMER AND RETURNED TO ZZZ FOR LNDG ON RWY 27L; OPERATING THE R ENG AT REDUCED PWR (BELOW 1.4 EPR) THROUGH THE LNDG. LNDG WT WAS APPROX 141000 LBS. TOUCHDOWN WAS VERY SMOOTH AT LESS THAN 200-300 FPM. R ENG WAS SHUT DOWN WHEN WE WERE CLR OF THE RWY. ZZZ CFR INSPECTED THE ACFT AND SAID THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF SMOKE OR FIRE. TAXIED BACK TO THE GATE SINGLE ENG. ZZZ MAINT PERSONNEL RPTED DAMAGE TO THE R ENG COMPRESSOR BLADES.
