....which could be quite tricky since the only reason one is likely to be at 23k+ is to stay above cloud (unless doing aerial pics in Nepal ) and if you lose the engine and have to descend you are likely to enter IMC and pick up ice, which isn't going to do a whole lot for your ability to climb back up again.... which confirms my view that a TB21 without full TKS is not worth having.

I never knew that turbo engines had these restart issues, but then I never needed to know. It has been a standard diesel issue though.
