UPON ACCELERATION AND ROTATION IN FLIGHT IDLE, A DISTINCT SMELL OF "BURNING RUBBER" WAS NOTICED THAT PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE OVER THE NEXT 10 SECONDS. AT APPROXIMATELY 500 FEET, THE PILOT ELECTED TO DECLARE AN EMERGENCY, DON AN OXYGEN MASK, RETURNED TO THE DEPARTURE AIRPORT, AND EVACUATED THE AIRPLANE. THEY INDICATED THE ODOR WAS STILL NOTICEABLE UPON EXITING THE AIRCRAFT. NO SMOKE OR MIST WAS EVER VISIBLE. A GENERAL VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE ENGINE WAS PERFORMED.
