A method of starting a gas turbine engine, particularly one having a high inertia rotor, in which the engine is cranked until sufficient air flow is available for lightoff, at which time fuel is injected at a fixed rate until ignition occurs, and fuel flow is then increased at a rate that is a function of rotor speed and ambient temperature. During the acceleration to operating speed, the turbine temperature is compared to a temperature reference that is based on rotor speed and ambient temperature and a lower fuel flow rate is selected, if necessary, to prevent overheating within the engine.
