PT6 Engine care..

Hi Guys,

I would appreciate your inputs on pilot engine care, especially on the PT6 range for B1900's.

Currently we advise our crew to do:

1. Bleeds off, Environ off t/o
2. Reduce pwr t/o - runway permitting
3. Start into wind
4. 2 min idle before shutdown
5. Start with ITT below 200 deg C on through flights.
6. Good Bat V


Any other tips will be appreciated
