What are the indications of a HOT start during engine start-up?

A HOT start during engine start-up is indicated primarily by the engine control system detecting that the temperature is exceeding normal limits. In this scenario, "HOT DISPLAYED" signifies that engine parameters are out of the safe operational range, particularly with respect to temperature, which is critical for engine safety and performance. When the engine control system identifies such an anomaly, the system also displays "ABORT START" on the EICAS (Engine Indication and Crew Alerting System) as a warning to the pilot, prompting immediate action to prevent potential damage to the engine.

The presence of both indicators, "HOT" and "ABORT START," serves as a clear communication to the flight crew that corrective action must be taken to mitigate risks associated with an excessively high temperature during the start phase. This is crucial for enhancing safety and ensuring the integrity of the engine as well as the overall performance of the aircraft.

The other choices present various alternative situations that, while potentially serious or relevant during an engine start sequence, do not directly correlate to a HOT start indication. For instance, engine shutdown procedures or flameout detection involve different parameters and responses that are not specifically tied to the conditions represented by the HOT start scenario.
