1. A gas turbine engine comprising:
- a spool;
a windmill pump driven by said spool through a constant speed transmission;
a first pump driven by said spool;
an air-oil cooler downstream of said first pump;
a second pump driven by said spool; and
an air-air precooler downstream of said second pump.

Abstract
A gas turbine engine according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes a windmill pump driven by a spool. A first pump driven by said spool with an air-oil cooler is located downstream of the first pump. A second pump is also driven the spool with an air-air precooler located downstream of the second pump. A method of operating a gas turbine engine during a “windmilling” condition includes driving a windmill pump with a spool during a “windmilling ” condition. A lubricant is communicated to a geared architecture with the windmill pump. A first pump is driven by the spool and an air-oil cooler is located downstream of the first pump.
