Hi,
Thank you for yours posts

I might misunderstand your use of the word "autostart". You have continuous ignition, which just runs the igniters continuously. I don't know of an a/c where the engine restarts automatically
-According to a 744 crew (in another forum) the autostart can also perform and handle crossbleed start. If the restart is not successful, it will keep trying to start the engine. Is this valid for Boeing 777 or Airbus airplanes?

You also have a crossbleed start altitude limit and the pilots will know it well if you are at altitude, you have time at your disposal, so it is not important to get engine going immediately. (You will be losing cabin pressure, so you probably won't glide from FL330 to FL150, where APU can run aircon packs, at best glide speed - you can just as well use altitude for windmill start)
-Do you mean that the crossbleeb start have altitude limit? (if the aircraft is out this limit, the crossbleed start can be performed?)
-Is there a cool down period of time for the starter after successive insuccessful crossbleed restarts? (or using APU bleed air at lower altitude)
Thank you. Feedback appreciated
Best regards.
