A couple of points, only introduce fuel when ng is stable, not at 12 or 13% (this is a MINIMUN and is often confused by newbees as the point to introduce fuel) unless this is all you can get. On a quick turnaround watch the itt during start prior to moving the fcl to ground idle, let it motor a bit longer, within starter limits to reduce residule heat. Park into any wind if you know it's aquick turn.
ALWAYS unload the compressor gearbox prior to start, air con etc off as per all pre start checklists. Don't be rushed.
