AN ACR MLG CREW EXPERIENCED ANOTHER HOT START ON ONE OF ITS ENGS.

Narrative

DURING INITIAL START OF #1 (L) ENG; N1 HUNG AT 44 PERCENT AND EGT BEGAN SLOW BUT STEADY INCREASE. FOLLOWING THE PROC FOR THIS ABNORMAL; THE THROTTLE WAS INCREASED IN ATTEMPT TO CLOSE THE BLEED VALVE. THIS ONLY CAUSED EGT RISE TO ACCELERATE RAPIDLY. START WAS ABORTED AT 460 DEGS WITH EGT PEAKING AT 470 DEGS (LIMIT 475 DEGS). AFTER A NORMAL START OF THE #2 ENG; A SUBSEQUENT SUCCESSFUL START OF THE #1 ENG WAS ACCOMPLISHED USING PROCS LISTED IN OPERATOR'S MANUAL (TURNING OFF HYDS AND TURNING ON ENG ANTI-ICE); PLUS UTILIZING BLEED AIR FROM #2 ENG ACCELERATED ABOVE IDLE TO AUGMENT APU AIR. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT PNEUMATIC PRESSURE WAS NORMAL DURING THE FIRST (ABORTED) ATTEMPT WITH N1 REACHING 6 1/2 - 7 PERCENT AND N2 REACHING 23-24 PERCENT. ALSO; THIS WAS THE FIRST ENG START OF THE DAY. SUBSEQUENT ENG STARTS BY MAINT AND FOR THE NEXT 2 LEGS WERE NORMAL. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR EXTREME VIGILANCE BY THE CAPT; THIS COULD HAVE EASILY RESULTED IN A ENG OVERTEMP WHICH COULD HAVE DAMAGED THE ENG AND CANCELLED THE FLT.
