ITT hotstart C208

During startup, the ITT exceeds the red band, this does not correspond to a real condition, what can be done?

@bellocchio2 Is the ITT exceeding the normal operating redline, or the start redline of 1090 degrees? It is common for the PT6 to exceed the normal operating redline during start for a few seconds. Limitations are noted in the manual.

@bellocchio2 Hi, I'm no expert but I suspect ambient air temperature, air pressure and other weather conditions may be a factor here; I did find an example of ITT exceeding the normal operating redline (but not the start redline) during start-up:
