WARNING DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RE-START AN ENGINE, IF THE ENGINE FAILURE WAS THE RESULT OF A TECHNICAL PROBLEM. NOTE For a power off landing establish the best glide speed, which should be not less than 75 knots IAS. AIR START An engine flame-out will be noticed by an indicated drop in ITT, torque pressure, Ng and Np. The recommended air start technique is to initiate the Immediate Relight procedure immediately after the flame-out occurs, always assuming the flame-out was not the result of an engine malfunction and the aircraft’s altitude does not allow the crew to perform a Normal Relight Procedure. If the Ng is less than 46%, a Normal Relight should be initiated. The relight envelope for successful air starts covers all operational altitudes and airspeeds. When restating above 20,000 ft, starting temperatures may tend to be high. REVISION 0: JAN 06, 2014 PC-6/B2-H4 QRH PAGE 17 IMMEDIATE RELIGHT (Ng> 46%) 1. Power Lever RETARD to detent 2.
