Agree that it's easy, but a windmilling restart requires replacement of your engine's timing chain.MackAttack wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 1:41 amvery easy to get a windmilling restart and the required speed is VERY low.

Re: Shutting up the gear warning while OEI
You misunderstand me ... it's so easy to get an unintentional windmilling restart that it's not worth the risk to shut it down in training. It's a bad thing to have that happen as you note. I wasn't saying "gee what's the big deal, it's easy to restart when windmilling!"
Cheers!
