While neither of these time periods can be found in chapter two, it is my opinion that they are still limitations, and I treat them as such whenever practical.
Dude, just read the FCOM, it's not at all vague. Your opinion isn't required. Cooldown is NOT a limitation, even an unwritten one. If you arrive at the gate and 3 minutes haven't passed, you can shut them down on the ceo. You do have to wait 3 minutes for OET. It is a mandatory cooldown for the neo, even after a short taxi to the gate. None of those are limitations though, which has a specific definition, requiring strict observation and a logbook entry for exceedence. They ARE good operating practice, and you can be sure it'll be talking point if you bust them in training or during a check.
