Start attempt with a weak battery?
Followed by a lack of hot start procedure?
On both engines?......................

You'll notice a weak start even before you put the fuel in. Even if you have half a clue you'll catch it early and cut the fuel before ITT gets anywhere near redline.


Have near on 1000hrs in C90' s and lots more with PT6. Got me stumped as to how you could even come close to cooking one like that,let alone 2!
Too right!
I've started some pretty old PT6s in 40 degree heat on short turnarounds with no wind at various altitudes. Even with a slightly depleated battery they never got over their redline, let alone near the start limit!



1000deg for 10 seconds on both, crikey. Someone f****d up.
Glad I ain't the one having tea n biccies to explain that...... or paying the bill!
