engine startup with tailwind

[ilbizza]

There is any reference on airbus 320 series (cfm) manuals about engine start tailwind limitation??

Consider Manual start with 20 kts I think.

Hi..

As per A320 FCOM 3 supplementary techniques. power plant,3.04.70

MANUAL ENGINE START:

Pilots normally use automatic starting to start an engine,...however, manual starting is recommended in the following cases:
* When expecting a start abort because of tailwind greater than 10kts


That's according to our manuals..so the way i see it is that it's a pilot call..so if the tailwind is GREATER than 10 kts. and we could EXPECT a start abort then we should consider a manual engine start

oooooops i am talking about our IAE V2500A5 engines

thanks to everybody seems that cfm56-5b engine is not affected by this problem there is no trace of it around my documentation that is supposed to be updated. best regards

there is something in the maint manuals about limits on the cfm;s but it would want to be a howling talwind,,,,,,a far cry from from the early pratts on the jumbo where a sniff of a tailwind would induce a hot start.
