Was rudely interupted last evening on a flight with an ecam....#2 engine stall"....these sorts of happening actually get your attention and make you sit up and open both eyes.
In the climb passing FL330 for 360,managed speed,managed climb,....had the # 2 engine, compressor stall on us twice.......very noticeable,with good yaw .....disconnected the autopilot ,leveled off expecting to shut engine down.......noticed EGT AND N1 fluctuations....no red lights,no engine parameter,s exceded(that we could tell)just the ecam...#2 engine stall" as this happened very quickly.
After 30,s engine stabilized(even above the screaming of the 150 paxs in the back)..... Quickly referenced the QRH,complied with the inflight portion,numerous checks...CFDS,AIDS.....called MTX .....after 25 minute chinwaggle continued flight.... ops checks normal, flight continued with no other problems......
Had the same thing happen on T/O a while back and rejected the T/O.....
Come to find out it was the 7th stage thingymejig on the rear end of the tranmisonthing.....
Would be interested to hear from the techies how often these occur
The F/O reckons the PAX never bought the "High altitude wake turbulence" I spun......hey why ruin a good story with the facts....the dunny light on the overhead stayed on for 3 hours
