Oh OK. All I was doing was pointing out that something someone said was lacking in accuracy. If accuracy is not what this forum is interested in, then fair enough.
A compressor stall what it is called and it is often what causes a surge. I’ve experienced a few and am well aware of what causes them.

Why the jibe about the “real world”? What are you implying with that remark?

We complain about the standard of our public representatives and now you want to pay them next to nothing in return for giving up their careers, sometimes well paid careers in order to serve the public. How is that going to work?
Like all walks of life if you want better people, you have to pay more.

You’ve never heard of a compressor stall? I’d ask your groundschool for your money back. Then again, maybe they didn’t cover jet engines.

I’ve added a couple of links to fill in what your groundschool missed.

If you don’t pay MPs enough then only those who are already well-off can afford to become MPs. That generally means more Tories. No thanks.

How much should someone get paid who works 50-60 hours a week, possibly hundreds of miles from home and may only have the job for 5 years?

Do you think?????????????? it would be possible to make the thread title more specific?

I don’t know what’s going on at UKAR but I don’t like it.

It used to be fun (like here) but it isn’t any more.

Anyway, what made me swear today? The fact that my favourite lens has been returned from the manufacturer for the second time and still doesn’t work properly.

Is even the stalling of a jet engine compressor an engine ‘malfunction’ since the engine is not physically damaged; it has just got into a situation where it cannot function as intended?

If the compressor stall can indeed damage the engine especially if the engine surges.

Oh OK. although I’m not sure how a engine compressor stall could be construed as pilot error though.
