I would expect there'd be a max ITT for start ?


Haven't operated a PT6 but on the turboprop I flew with the CT7 engine this was a limit,
we would motor the engine to get the temp below this before introducing fuel.

Always good advice to go to max motoring (within starter limits) to get the coole$t possible start as well.
