Yeah 150 is it during ground ops. We could do 60 sec motors during ops checks engaging one or both sides. The -1 has a double engine failure statement about using the JFS to provide hydro by engaging a motor if the N1 <12%. Had a debate w/another Crew Chief...had to get proof and blow his argument apart. You know how we do (or how I used to do)
