I did that, ok, my instructor wanted me to do that, came to N1 17% on a battery cart, well, it started... nothing else. All went pretty smooth, no TOT peaks. As i was instructed, a low N1 is the dangerous area during starting, not a high one.

We have bendix FCU.

So if i "crack" the throttle a little over idle stop (just to be sure it's over the idle stop), there will be no higher TOT? Our instructors want us to keep the idle stop button in during starting, so if anything goes wrong we won't forget to press it and kill the engine.
Once i let go the throttle and the idle stop was not fully out... and the instructor apperently checked... next thing was the engine out horn.
