An American Airlines McDonnell Douglas MD-83, registration N438AA performing flight AA-1605 from Dallas Ft. Worth,TX to Ontario,CA (USA), suffered a right hand engine (JT8D) compressor stall on departure. In the absence of further abnormal engine indications the crew continued the flight until cabin crew reported a smell of burning rubber and strange vibrations in the cabin. The flight crew stopped the climb at about 16,000 feet and returned to Dallas Ft. Worth for a safe landing.

A replacement MD-82 registration N7547A reached Ontario with a delay of 3 hours.

A post flight inspection revealed that the tyre cap of the outboard right hand tyre had separated during takeoff with tyre debris going through the right hand engine and causing additional substantial damage to the flaps and right main gear door. The #2 engine needed to be replaced, the aircraft is still on the ground for repairs of the damage on the underside of the aircraft.
