For those who may not be aware, an engineer has 2 points on a Bendix Fuel Control Unit to adjust the fuel scheduling. One controls the light-off and the other is only effective above 33%N1.. .. .Infomation passed on re start problems should include: OAT, residual TOT, light off %, first and second temp 'peaks' (TOT and N1) and 'time to idle'. This will give the best possible chance of speedy and accurate maintenance response.. .. .I was always taught that having the attitude that every start will be a 'hot one' will keep you alert to the most often early signs of impending disaster.....
