My post about No Fault Found with regard to high peak TIT during an engine start sequence was made with particular reference to the conditions prevailing at Changi (along with a mischievous dig at the FE involved
) .
Simply turning the aircraft into wind would often 'fix' this reported defect (here, I am referring to slight overtemps i.e. those recorded between 830-850 degrees C).
Unfortunately, the aircraft parking layouts at both Changi and Lyneham (especially Bays 5 to 8) along with those at some other other exotic operating bases proved less than ideal in certain wind conditions: coupled with an unfavourable wind direction and/or high ambient air temps, these were major factors in many of the large number of reported high start temps.
