FLC OF MD88 EXPERIENCES COMPRESSOR STALL AND ENG SURGE JUST AFTER TKOF. RETURNED FOR LNDG.

Narrative

I WAS THE FO AND THE PF. PRIOR TO PUSHBACK; A COMPLETE PREFLT OF THE ACFT WAS COMPLETED WITH NO PROBS FOUND. THE PUSHBACK; ENG START; AND TAXI WERE ALL CONDUCTED WITHIN NORMAL PARAMETERS. AFTER THE REQUIRED 2 MIN ENG WARM-UP WAS COMPLETED; THE ACFT WAS CLRED INTO POS ON THE RWY. SHORTLY AFTER VR WAS REACHED DURING TKOF; I PERCEIVED A COMPRESSOR STALL IN THE R ENG. THE COMPRESSOR STALL REPEATED SEVERAL TIMES; BECOMING MORE SEVERE DURING CLBOUT. SUBSEQUENTLY; THE CAPT REDUCED PWR TO THE R ENG. THE ENG REMAINED RUNNING. FOLLOWING THE REDUCTION IN PWR; THE COMPRESSOR DISCONTINUED STALLING. SOMETIME DURING CLBOUT; ATC INFORMED US THAT VISIBLE FLAMES WERE EXITING ONE OF THE ENGS. THE CAPT THEN MADE A REQUEST TO ATC TO RETURN TO PBI. THE ACFT LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. UPON LNDG; THE AUTO-BRAKES WERE INITIALLY SET ON MAX AND ONLY THE L ENG WAS USED FOR REVERSE THRUST. AFTER LNDG; THE CAPT TOOK CTL OF THE ACFT AND TURNED OFF THE RWY. AFTER CLRING THE RWY; THE ACFT WAS MET BY EMER CREWS. EMER PERSONNEL INFORMED US THAT THERE WAS NO VISIBLE PROB WITH THE R ENG. THE R ENG WAS SHUT DOWN AND THE CAPT TAXIED TO THE GATE. AFTER ALL OF THE PAX DEPLANED; I INSPECTED THE EXTERIOR OF THE ACFT. I NOTICED DAMAGE TO THE OUTBOARD TIRE ON THE R MAIN LNDG GEAR; AND RUBBER MARKS ON THE GEAR DOOR. ALSO; I SAW A HOLE IN THE COWLING OF THE R ENG. I DID NOT OBSERVE ANY OF THESE THINGS DURING MY PREFLT INSPECTION. I RECORDED MY OBSERVATIONS; ALONG WITH THE OVERWT LNDG; AND THE COMPRESSOR STALLS IN THE LOGBOOK. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 412240: FOUND ON POSTFLT THAT #4 MAIN TIRE TREAD HAD SEPARATED AND DAMAGED #2 ENG.
