In a false start, after purging fuel for 15 seconds, what action should follow?

• A. Press the engine start disengage button.
• B. Move the thrust lever to IDLE.
• C. Move ignition switch to OFF.
• D. Shut down the electrical system.

Answer: (A)

During a false start, after you’ve purged fuel for 15 seconds, the next step is to disengage the starter. Pressing the engine start disengage button stops the starter motor, resets the starting circuit, and prevents the starter from being stressed if the engine doesn’t light off immediately. This sets you up for a clean restart with ignition and fuel sequencing ready. Moving the thrust lever to IDLE isn’t the immediate action after purge, and turning the ignition switch OFF or shutting down the electrical system would abort the restart rather than prepare for it.
