"HOT START" for a turbine engine refers to when DURING the start the maximum turbine inlet temperature has been exceeded. Subsequent inspection is required prior to flight. In a piston engine a HOT START PROCEDURE tells you how to start an already hot engine as when you just shut down and are restarting...like maybe don't pull the choke? The terms for turbins and piston engines are not comparable. Bob Bob No argument on that. Perhaps its just a matter of not using the more correct terminology, or in the right context? An amusing story.....we were getting an infrequent inspection from the FSDO and one of the inspectors stuck his head in the cockpit of my Hiller 12ET (Soloy), looked around and asked where the carb heat control was. I kind of chuckled at his joke, but it wasn't a joke and he got miffed with me for laughing! I didn't bother to try and explain it to him...... Best New Year Regards Rocky |
