air lock???
twice in one week i have heard the term "air lock" in relation to aircraft engines. one from a passenger that was sitting next to a BA pilot on the Azures Concord affair and the next time from a purser who was told by the captain that the loud bang that she heard before the engine was shut down in cruise.
i have never heard the term before. perhaps that is due to my flight training being in the USA and then flying in korea and then brussels for the last four years.
could that be a british term for "compressor stall'??
any assistance would be appreciated.
and any information as to what causes said "air lock" and if there are any ways to avoid said event.
