[thread creep] This is related to start-up; it's that time a short while later when you've wound the rpm up ready to lift. The check I was taught began 'lights OUT, rpm 104, MAP 13-14...' and the one I was flying that had just finished a 2000-hour overhaul had a MAP of 17...
Am I lucky to still be here? (Lu, I know I was lucky every time regardless of the readings.) [/thread creep]
