Correct! Wrong!

For manual starts, the FADEC has very limited authority to abort a start. The sole case is when on the ground and a start EGT exceedance occurs before 50% N2. In all other cases, it is the pilot's responsibility to interrupt the start sequence by either deselecting the manual start button or turning the engine master switch off as appropriate.

Correct! Wrong!

For an inflight start, the FADEC decides whether the engine is windmilling fast enough or needs assistance from the starter in view of current engine parameters and flight environment parameters.

Correct! Wrong!

The FADEC will automatically abort an abnormal start thereby providing engine limit protection, but will the FADEC also automatically dry crank the engine?
