The logic of the 'new' checklist is pretty straight forward:

- Engines flame out, you want to relight them asap or all you are doing is gliding to the crash site.
- Therefore you must get enough air through the engines to start them.
- Above apu availability height (varies) then windmill is the only option.
- Therefore 300 knots.
- With apu available then assisted start is available so back to green dot to extend glide time.

Exemptions would obviously exist to this standard strategy in the event of high terrain.
