Hmmm, might not be a great idea to bung up the many air sensing probes inside the (turbofan, I presume) engine. FADEC should manage your EGT if things go awry on the subsequent start but it usually needs good air data, amongst others, to manage the ensuing combustion.

Personally would not like to phone the boss and say the fan blades were clear on the walkround but sorry I just torched one of your BRTs during start. FADEC download reveals temporary no data from sensing port. Hey presto. ICE.

If the engine starts OK and you shed fan/compressor ice during taxi out/line up, well done, got away with it.

If only they made aeroplanes out of the stuff the sim is made from
