Altitude Relight

Altitude Relight is a safety-critical operational procedure in turbofan engine design and aviation systems that refers to the capability of reigniting the engine combustor at high altitudes after an unplanned flameout, distinguishing it from ground-level restart procedures by accounting for low ambient pressure, temperature, and air density conditions.
