    A severe compressor stall on takeoff is a REALLY tough one for the engine. Enormous stress. And this example, remember that the engine worked fine after it, shows how super extra duper well engines are designed and built today. The engineering work behind the design of the engine and tools for manufacturing and the manufacturing procedures are amazing!

      Actually if you bring is slowly back to idle and the stalls stop it usually is pretty fine. You'll have to scope the engine but as long as it's not continuous after you roll it back to idle it is generally fine. In that case you shut down the offending engine anyways. Either way you're landing but the aircraft can fly one one engine. It has two for a reason. From my experience on the Airbus compressor stalls a lot of the time come from issues with either the VBV's or VSV's. I experience more compressor stalls on the A320F versus the 737. Thankfully haven't had one happen to me yet.

    Compressor stalls can be caused by a number of things, but they are usually pretty easy to solve if the small, I forget the name but, blow-out door on the engine opens and allows the engine to breathe a bit more.
