OK Guys....

No peekin'....suppose you did these memory items, and whilst the engines were still hot and turnin' they lit-off again....

then...damn it, they both restarted into a stalled condition, and the RPM started to slow and the EGT started to rise a little too much....

what now...as I said, no peekin', you wouldn't get time in the actual..go ahead NOW..the EGTs still rising, more rapidly now...RPMs dying.....

right now, what would you do...(your FOs still lookin' at you in expectation),

These are CFMs, you only have two of them, and no FE....

What would you do?
cycling the fuel on-off does wonders for getting out of a compressor stall condition and its quick as well This of course presumes that you are above min N2 start condition. It's when you drop below min N2 start that you need other alternatives

when you turn off the flame it drops the burner pressure and it's like opening up a great big bleed valve unloading the compressor
