Narrative:

After normal loading; pushback; start and departure. On climb out of about 13000 ft MSL; #2 engine compressor stalled one time. Loud bang and shake of plane. Engine indication of rising egt #2 engine. Thrust lever reduced to idle to attempt to control temperature. Egt continued into red and rising further with decreasing N1 and N2 and fuel flow. Asked first officer to confirm that we should shut it down. Still no ECAM action prompts at this point. He concurred we should shut it down. Confirmed #2 engine master. He confirmed. Shut #2 engine master off. Started APU and then the ECAM actions started with compressor stall. Reduce thrust; egt over limit; engine #2 master off. Temperature started to come down from peak I thought was about 800 degrees and later readings showed 742 degrees. Advised ATC; declared emergency; advised cabin crew of return to airport with 1 engine inoperative and no fire indications and no evacuate/evacuation planned but fire trucks would look us over after we exited the runway. Advised passenger of our return and that the engine had failed and that we were planning for fire trucks to look us over before we returned to the gate and then a normal off loading at the gate was planned. ATC provided vectors to a visual approach flaps 3 degree single engine which the first officer performed. Airport operations was notified and asked to call security and maintenance to advise of our return. 1 ECAM message was sent of return. Normal taxi in and off loading of passenger. Called security and maintenance on phone once at gate and aircraft secured. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: follow-up report indicated that stator vane failure was a contributing cause. This is the second failure where this reporter noticed ECAM indications did not occur until after the shutdown.

Title: A319 ENG SHUT DOWN AT 13000 FT AFTER SUFFERING COMPRESSOR STALL AND HIGH EGT.

Narrative: AFTER NORMAL LOADING; PUSHBACK; START AND DEP. ON CLBOUT OF ABOUT 13000 FT MSL; #2 ENG COMPRESSOR STALLED ONE TIME. LOUD BANG AND SHAKE OF PLANE. ENG INDICATION OF RISING EGT #2 ENG. THRUST LEVER REDUCED TO IDLE TO ATTEMPT TO CTL TEMP. EGT CONTINUED INTO RED AND RISING FURTHER WITH DECREASING N1 AND N2 AND FUEL FLOW. ASKED FO TO CONFIRM THAT WE SHOULD SHUT IT DOWN. STILL NO ECAM ACTION PROMPTS AT THIS POINT. HE CONCURRED WE SHOULD SHUT IT DOWN. CONFIRMED #2 ENG MASTER. HE CONFIRMED. SHUT #2 ENG MASTER OFF. STARTED APU AND THEN THE ECAM ACTIONS STARTED WITH COMPRESSOR STALL. REDUCE THRUST; EGT OVER LIMIT; ENG #2 MASTER OFF. TEMP STARTED TO COME DOWN FROM PEAK I THOUGHT WAS ABOUT 800 DEGS AND LATER READINGS SHOWED 742 DEGS. ADVISED ATC; DECLARED EMER; ADVISED CABIN CREW OF RETURN TO ARPT WITH 1 ENG INOPERATIVE AND NO FIRE INDICATIONS AND NO EVAC PLANNED BUT FIRE TRUCKS WOULD LOOK US OVER AFTER WE EXITED THE RWY. ADVISED PAX OF OUR RETURN AND THAT THE ENG HAD FAILED AND THAT WE WERE PLANNING FOR FIRE TRUCKS TO LOOK US OVER BEFORE WE RETURNED TO THE GATE AND THEN A NORMAL OFF LOADING AT THE GATE WAS PLANNED. ATC PROVIDED VECTORS TO A VISUAL APCH FLAPS 3 DEG SINGLE ENG WHICH THE FO PERFORMED. ARPT OPS WAS NOTIFIED AND ASKED TO CALL SECURITY AND MAINT TO ADVISE OF OUR RETURN. 1 ECAM MESSAGE WAS SENT OF RETURN. NORMAL TAXI IN AND OFF LOADING OF PAX. CALLED SECURITY AND MAINT ON PHONE ONCE AT GATE AND ACFT SECURED.
