An engine compressor stall or surge can be described as a
sharp rumble, a series of loud sharp pops, severe engine
vibration, or a rapid rise in Turbine Outlet Temperature (TOT)
depending on the severity of stall or surge. When a stall or
surge is suspected, follow steps as dictated by reported
conditions.
The components removed from the helicopter for evaluation
following a compressor stall or surge shall be evaluated as a
matched group. The records accompanying each component
shall cross-reference part and serial numbers of other drive
system components removed for evaluation.

suspected compressor stall or surge to determine if it
corresponds to one of the following conditions:
• If the stall or surge occurred on the ground or in flight at
any N
R
speed or torque setting and there was no
noticeable yaw of the helicopter, do Part I and Part II of
this inspection.
• If the stall or surge occurred on the ground or in flight at
any N
R
speed or torque setting and there was a
noticeable yaw of the helicopter, do Part I, Part II, and
