My friend on a DH leg sat next to an engine the surged several times after T/O on a 73N7G.
His comments were: sounded exactly like the sim… and when he talking to the pilot after landing , he was told the aircraft behaved just like the sim with the rolling surges, and the ”tail kicking”… and inside the dials showing increasingly fluctuating N1 anf EGT(red).
I used to fly an old worn out straight jet, biz jet, where, when standing up the throttles for T/O it was easy t o “stall” the engines if you didn’t easy the throttles up very very carefully. In flight the engines behaved much better… But on T/O you could easily give your self a week of not flying... if you did not pay attention setting T/O thrust… the sound of bad thing was a very quick fluf fluf fluf fluf fluf…
