Abstract
A system is provided for alternating starter use during multi-engine motoring in an aircraft. The system includes a first engine starting system of a first engine and a controller. The controller is operable to coordinate control of the first engine starting system to alternate use of power from a power source relative to use of the power by one or more other engine starting systems of the aircraft while maintaining a starting spool speed of the first engine below a resonance speed of the starting spool during motoring of the first engine.
