ENG FLARE ON TKOF. FLT RETURNED AND LANDED AT EWR.

Narrative

AT APPROX 700-800 FT MSL ON TKOF WE HEARD AND FELT A LOUD 'BANG' FOLLOWED BY THE #1 ENG UNSPOOLING TO SLIGHTLY BELOW IDLE PARAMETERS (LATER FOUND A TURBINE HAD FAILED). WE DECLARED AN EMER AND REQUESTED TO HAVE THE EQUIP STANDING BY. ALL CHKLISTS WERE COMPLETED AND A NORMAL APCH AND LNDG ACCOMPLISHED. WE HAD 136 PAX AND A CREW OF 6 ON BOARD WITH A GROSS TKOF WT OF 128000 POUNDS (MAX FOR THIS MLG IS 147000 POUNDS). WE HAD AMPLE TIME TO CTL THE COCKPIT WORKLOAD AND ATC WAS VERY HELPFUL; MY ONLY COMMENT (COMPLAINT) IS THAT THE CTLRS WANTED TO TALK TOO MUCH AND GET MORE INFO THAN A CREW CAN REASONABLY PROVIDE AT LESS THAN 1000 FT AGL WHILE TRYING TO GET AN ACFT IN A FLYABLE CONFIGN. WE FINALLY HAD TO TELL THEM WE WERE BUSY AND WOULD FILL THEM IN AS TIME PERMITTED. PERHAPS ATC FOLKS NEED TO BE GIVEN A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE HIGH COCKPIT WORKLOAD DURING THE INITIAL PHASES OF AN INFLT PROBLEM SO THEY CAN SAVE SOME ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONS FOR MORE APPROPRIATE TIMES. MY COMPLIMENTS TO ALL OF THE CTLRS INVOLVED THEY WERE VERY HELPFUL AND PROFESSIONAL BUT I DO BELIEVE WE NEED TO HELP THEM UNDERSTAND BETTER WAYS OF HELPING COCKPIT CREWS AT SUCH TIMES.
