but it was more prevelant on the AS 332L and so is ingrained in 30+ years of experience
'tis true, unfortunately a lot of that experience has gone and things that were taken for granted are now new to a lot of crews. The L2 is particularly prone to surging if the bleed valve offset isn't engaged at low power and, during acceleration if you are a little over exuberant with the speed select. We have two reports of a 225 "popping" in many thousands of hours of operation so not a common occurrence.
