Correct Answer
• Delayed engine start should be used when operationally possible. The following weights are for guidance only: o Less
than approximately 726,000 lbs, start engines 4, 1, and 2. o Less than approximately 660,000 lbs, start engines 4 and 1.
• If the engine has been shut down for several hours, it is desirable to operate at as low a thrust setting as practical for
several minutes prior to takeoff. o Taxiing with two engines at high gross weight is not recommended for normal
operation because of the noise and blast damage from higher than normal thrust requirements
