following surging and possible backfire with a loud "bang".
If it happens do the following:
1. Pull the throttle back to IDLE Numpad-.
2. Adjust attitude to some negative pitch and free fly at approximately 185 KIAS.
3. Smoothly push the throttle back to the desired position and continue the flight Numpad+.

Air start
