Impending Hot Start

Indications:

• Rapid rising EGT
  

Probable Causes:

• Slower/Normal N2 spool up
• Higher than normal Fuel Flow (normal = approx. 0.3 after FCS to run)
  

Actions:

• Abort start if EGT rapidly passes 300degC at approx. 40% N2
• FCS to cutoff (by recall), start Timer
  
• Note peak EGT
• Call for "ABORTED ENGINE START" Checklist
• Inform ATC if delay anticipated

Circuit Breaker(s):

• NO
  

MEL:

• NO
  

If engine restart required:

• Select IGNITERS to Both
• When N2 0% (Reset EEC)
• Restart affected engine
• Return IGNITER to 1 or 2

Common Errors:

• Late to select FCS to cutoff
• Not monitoring peak EGT
• Not selecting IGNITERS to both for subsequent start
• Not waiting for N2 to spool to 0%
• Not returning IGNITER to original position after a restart
