Abstract
A method of starting a gas turbine engine includes determining an abnormal shutdown condition during operation of the gas turbine engine and determining a first set of lightoff parameters for the gas turbine engine. The method also includes restarting the gas turbine engine using the first set of lightoff parameters. The method further includes iteratively determining subsequent first sets of lightoff parameters and restarting the gas turbine engine using a respective subsequent first set of the determined subsequent first sets of lightoff parameters until the gas turbine maintains a first set of operational parameters, where the first set of operational parameters is representative of a robust lightoff of the gas turbine engine.
