I had never seen that in training. Saw hot/hung/no and starter remains on, advisory still on, starts.
As I had never done that I announced the caution and went to the qrh. I complete the qrh which has me hit the stop button and the caution extinguishes. The APD asks what is the clock at and I state 92 seconds.
Not sure that it matters. I had chosen to be PM for the first leg out. Everything went fine with that, kind of hard to mess that up. Only real thing that had happened on that was a hold and had to determine how much time we had available in holding before diverting.
JC would bust on limitation exceedence by 1 second or a brief moment or missing a word in a verbatim limitation when one demonstrates a understanding of a limitation…. Luckily I had him for my oral when I was a new hire there and didn’t have any issues even though he asked some funky questions that weren’t meant to dig someone in a hole. Luckily, he didn’t know my back with the various qual boards I went through in my previous military career (nothing to do with aviation) with folks asking questions the way JC did and I knew how to approach answering his questions. It was almost like playing chess except I knew his moves before he knew mines type of deal. I would have hated to have him for a sim ride though….
