Abstract
Herein provided are methods and systems for setting an acceleration schedule for engine start of a gas turbine engine. A rotational acceleration measurement of the engine after the engine is energized in response to a start request is obtained. The rotational acceleration measurement of the engine is compared to an acceleration band having a maximum threshold and a minimum threshold. An acceleration schedule is determined based on a position of the rotational acceleration measurement of the engine in the acceleration band.
