The method includes providing a gas turbine engine having a compressor, a combustor, downstream of the compressor, with a hot gas path, a turbine downstream of the combustor, with a hot gas path. The method further includes monitoring the gas turbine engine for a potential surge condition, controlling a blow-off flow from the compressor, based on the monitoring for the control purpose of avoiding the surge condition, and directing the blow-off flow to at least one of the hot gas paths so as to bypass at least a portion of the combustor.
