## Discrepancy

(CAN) SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF AT APPROXIMATELY 500 FEET THE CREW HEARD A LOUD BANG COMPRESSOR STALL, THEN A SECOND ONE. THE RIGHT ENGINE EGT WENT TO THE HIGH ZONE. THE #2 ENGINE WAS SHUTDOWN AND THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO POINT OF DEPARTURE. POST FLIGHT INSPECTION FOUND METAL PARTICLES IN THE EXHAUST PIPE AND SIGNS OF COMPRESSOR FAILURE. FINAL REPORT TO FOLLOW.
