Monitoring engine limits is the key

However, an accumulation of highpower surges (bangs) will damage the engines in such a way that they may fail days later (cracked blades)

One or two DC9 operators found this out when they used reverser techniques that often popped the engines (too much reverse at too low a speed). Not a problem for any single landing, but the damage will accumulate if you do it for several landings.
