lomapaseo....

Right on...

Just keep cycling the Start Lever(s) if the engine EGT rises too much or it won't light-off..

Just like the FE did in that famous 4-engine flameout in a BA 747 Classic near Indonesia some time ago!
Eventually the engine(s) started, as they decended into more dense air.

BUT...don't be too quick with the cycling, all turbojets windup very slowly at higher altitudes, so if it's accelerating and the EGT is not in danger of overtemping, keep it going!

Just thought I'd ask...there seems to be WAY to much dependence on the computer generated messaging systems, rather than knowing what you're about, and how the airplane works...

Cheers...FD...
