After my reply above, we actually had the experience again, it's been awhile since the last one.

No problem with current installation, except a bit low on power (+4%) with a loaner turbine.

Turbine change after OH of our own- fails DCA check and stall check.

Swapping bleed valves - DCA ok, stall fail.

Swapping FCU - DCA fail, stall fail.

Engineers

Installing loaner compressor - DCA ok, stall ok

Since the turbine came from OH it was probably "tight" in the nozzle, and since the engine was a bit low on power the compressor was maybe not the best. New compressor cured the problem. The new compressor and OH turbine is +12% in pwr margin.

The problem engine was #2, during all swapping #1 was checked as well every time - no problem!


Just wanted to share this with you.
