I got my experience with jet engines and compressor stalls during 17 years
of working guidance, counter measures, and avionics with test aircraft. Even
on the ground a comp stall is impressive if you are in the 'near field'. On
a test stand if we had a stall we would roll the engine for total
inspection. In the air there could be a 're-light' but the test pilots
brought the birds home on the other engine to a bunch of flashing lights and
yellow gear on the ground. My job wasn't an engine guy, though I held the
license, but I did get to do chain-down high power run ups looking for power
anomolies affecting the avionics.
