What was found

STALL DISPLAYED ON UPPER ECAM SCREEN DURING CLIMB OR CRUISE ACCELERATION. ENGINE NOT SHUTDOWN, ENG 2. A REVIEW OF THE DFDR DATA FOR THIS EVENT SHOWS THAT THE STALL HAPPENED AT MID-POWER DURING DECEL "TOP OF ASCENT" TYPE STALL. THIS IS CLEARLY DIFFERENT THAN THE REPORTED "STEADY STATE CLIMB STALL" AND REQUIRES QUITE DIFFERENT TROUBLE SHOOTING. EP HAS CREATED AN EG CALL-OUT TO REPLACE THE HPC BLEED VALVES AND SOLENOID. EVENT RECURRED ON 06/29/07. REPLACED FMU AND FUEL PUMP AS LAST DITCH EFFORT TO AVOID CHANGING THE ENGINE OUT--NO ISSUES SINCE THAT ACTION.
