Malfunctions during powerplant start.
Malfunctions during powerplant start.
Bottom line
When the EGT exceeds the safe limit of an aircraft, it experiences a “hot start.” This is caused by too much fuel entering the combustion chamber or insufficient turbine rpm. Serious engine damage occurs if the hot start is allowed to continue. If the engine fails to accelerate to the proper speed after ignition or does not accelerate to idle rpm, a hung or false start has occurred.
