o N2 hanging below idle
o FF normal or low
o EGT within limit

• Engine Primary Parameters – Note for Analysis

• Fuel Lever – OFF
• If Starter Disengaged (valve closed)
o When N2 at / or below 30% – PRESS ENG START Pushbutton

22. Hot Start – GE:

• Indications:
o Rapid EGT rise likely to exceed the starting EGT limit
o N2 increases below normal rate
o FF normal or high
o Tailpipe burning may be reported by ground crew

• If EGT exceeds 870o C or is above 750o C for more than 40 seconds

• Fuel Lever – OFF
• Engine Motoring – 30 Seconds
• Engine Start Selector – OFF

23. Hot Start – P&W:

o Rapid EGT rise likely to exceed the starting EGT limit (535o C)
o N2 hanging at approximately 30% N2
o FF normal or high
o Tailpipe burning may be reported by ground crew

• Fuel Lever – OFF

If EGT reaches 400o C before N2 has reached 30% anticipate a possible hot
start and be prepared to select the fuel lever to OFF to prevent a hot start.

• If Starter Disengaged (valve closed)

o When N2 at / or below 30% – PRESS ENG START Pushbutton

• Engine Motoring – 30 Seconds

Note: Differences between the two hot start checklists (GE and P&W) are UNDERLINED

27. Stall Recovery:
When any stall indication (aural, stick shaker or buffet) is recognized, apply the immediate actions:

❖ During Any Flight Phase Except at Lift Off:

• AP – Disconnect
• A/THR – Disconnect
• Nose Down Pitch Control – Apply
• Nose Down Pitch Trim – As Needed
Note: Incase of lack of pitch down authority, reducing thrust may be necessary
• Bank – Wings Level

➢ When out of Stall (i.e. No Stall Indications):

o Thrust – Increase smoothly as needed

Note: With one engine inop, progressively compensate thrust asymmetry with rudder
o Speedbrakes – Check Retracted
o Flight Path – Recover Smoothly

➢ If in Clean Configuration and below 20,000 feet:

o Slats – Extend
Note: If a risk of ground contact exists, when clearly out of stall (i.e. no stall
indications), establish smoothly a positive climb gradient.

❖ At Lift Off:

o A/THR – Disconnect
o Throttles – Full Forward
At the same time
o Pitch Attitude – 12.5 degrees
o Bank – Wings Level
Note: After achieving and maintaining a safe flight path and speed, if stall warning is still
activated, consider it as a spurious stall warning and refer to the procedure “Inadvertent Stick
Shaker (QRH 6.04)”
