I never did bid the 1011, but my airline operated many of them and I liked riding on them. This much smoke on start up was certainly not normal, but it happened from time to time at low temperatures. I don't believe it is necessarily associated with an engine change.

Since I wasn't checked out on the 1011, I don't know what else contributed to this huge amount of smoke, perhaps a cross bleed start or a weak start cart. I do remember making a PA announcement or two to calm my passengers when they saw an event like the one in the video.
