severe engine vibration and a rapid rise in
Interturbine Temperature (ITT), depending on

dictated by discrepant conditions.
Components removed from a helicopter for
evaluation following a compressor stall or surge shall
be evaluated as an interrelated group. Removal
records accompanying each component shall
cross-reference part and serial numbers of other
drive system components removed for evaluation.
