Here is a good question, for someone has actually stalled a
civilian compressor. Do you have to log compressor stalls, or
do anything extra, after stalling one?


Used to happen all the time in the old B-707s due to "sticky"
surge bleed valves between the N1 and N2 compressor sections.
No write-ups due to compressor stalls, but we might write-up
the surge bleed valve. In the JT-3D engine, it was not a matter
of not enough air, but rather too much air fed from the N1
compressor stage to the N2 stage.
