How many seconds is the starter limit for the T-6A?

The starter limit for the T-6A is 20 seconds. This limit is crucial to prevent overheating and damage to the starter motor and the engine's electrical system during the start sequence. A prolonged starter engagement could lead to excessive wear and potential failure.

Understanding the starter limits helps ensure that the aircraft is operated within its prescribed parameters, effectively contributing to the safety and longevity of the engine's components. Adhering to this limit is particularly vital during cold weather operations when further caution may be necessary to avoid engine damage or starter malfunction.
