  • determining an abnormal shutdown condition during operation of the gas turbine engine;

    determining a first set of lightoff parameters for the gas turbine engine;

    restarting the gas turbine engine using the first set of lightoff parameters; and

    iteratively, determining subsequent first sets of lightoff parameters and restarting the gas turbine engine using a respective subsequent first set of the determined subsequent first sets of lightoff parameters until the gas turbine engine maintains a first set of operational parameters, the first set of operational parameters representative of a robust lightoff of the gas turbine engine.
