Heh heh, cheers for the replies.
I didn't expect quite so much emotion but that's good fun
To explain a bit, I've been reading a document about re lights in the case of loss of thrust on both engines and it went into some detail about the importance of initiating the relight immediately in order to take advantage of any rotation and in a later paragraph touched on the importance of achieving the 275kts for airflow.
It made me wonder if I had mis interpreted the intention of the checklist. A few hours later and looking back I agree that going 5 or 10 knots into the barbers pole in order to achieve the IAS is a silly idea, much more sensible to wait a bit until the available IAS opens up a bit while carrying out the restart procedure anyway. I feel suitably chastised and will revert to plan A and slink away to my corner for an hour or two
The barbers pole call was a bit tough though Nitpicker, I've spent my share of time hugging them with the power levers up in turbo props.
Have a good one,
Framer
