JFS limits
No JFS start within 8 sec (electric motor overheat): allow to cool 5 mins JFS starts but no engine start, JFS operational for; Less than 60s - 2 mins cool 60-90s - 5 mins cool Over 90s - 1 hr cool… don’t try for over 90s!! Check limits for subsequent starts.
43
Max cabin differential

44
Oxygen system
-Total contents should not be less than 7.5L -Must be on oxygen above CABALT 8k -Intentional operation above CABALT 10kft prohibited. -“normal” mixture insufficient above CABALT 12k (use 100%) -Descend at least below CABALT 18kft to avoid decompression sickness and hypoxia. -Demist requirements will reduce time by up to a factor of 2.5 Really? Could fly depressurised at 10,000ft with selector on “Normal” if required or just descend 8,000ft and come off oxygen
