Well, according to http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/gener...s/eng08036.xml

By the way, the study's authors noted that compressor stalls/surges
account for two-thirds of the engine malfunctions in today's
turbofans. This is a change from earlier generation turbine designs in
which uncontained failures were the principal malfunction. Since stall/
surge is the primary engine malfunction, one would assume that it
would be a regular item during initial, recurrent or simulator
training. And yet, I cannot recall ever reviewing the matter or being
exposed to a compressor stall/surge during a simulator session.


That's strange, every recurrent we have at lest one or two occurrences
of compressor stall/surge, after v1/rotation.
You should talk to your instructors, it is something to be experienced,
quite wild.
