3. only N2 zero
How would you analyse these 3 scenarios and when would you try to restart the engine?
Personally I wouldn’t try and restart the engine in any of those scenarios unless I had a very good reason to.
Engines don’t just fail, they fail for a reason. So unless I had a very good reason to attemp a restart I wouldn’t.
Think long and hard about the consequences of restarting.
