Engine Restart Procedure

What is the correct engine restart procedure for the 727? I was cruising at  FL180 and shut down engine 3 so I could restart it. Nothing I did would allow get it to relight even when I descended to 9,000 feet.

In the real plane there is a flight start checklist.

You need to:

1.Place Start lever to cutoff
2.Check in-flight start envelope for speed and altitude
3.Fuel valve open, boost pumps on
4.Engine start switch to FLT position (overhead panel, right click)
5.Start lever to IDLE or start
6.When engine at idle, engine start switch off

That should get the beast going.

Hmm... okay must have been a glitch that flight because I tried those steps. I'll try it again and see if it will restart (was a glitch) or if something is just wrong. If it does it again I'll post back here but I would assume CS would have modeled the procedure.

It worked on another test flight. Must have just been a glitch that day. I did not attempt a second try that night; but, knowing FSX I should have.

727 inflight start checklist & start envelope from http://www.boeing-727.com
Check out this web site for other 727 needs and info.

Keep this around in case you need to start an engine in flight!

LOU, great stuff, I thought the Benson website had dissappeared for ever and I had no properly saved some of the files, especially the easy how to guides for some of the numbers.

Thanks for finding them up and running again.
