"HOT START" for a turbine engine refers to when DURING the start the maximum
turbine inlet temperature has been exceeded. Subsequent inspection is
required prior to flight. In a piston engine a HOT START PROCEDURE tells
you how to start an already hot engine as when you just shut down and are
restarting...like maybe don't pull the choke? The terms for turbins and
piston engines are not comparable.

No argument on that. Perhaps its just a matter of not using the more
correct terminology, or in the right context? An amusing story.....we
were getting an infrequent inspection from the FSDO and one of the
inspectors stuck his head in the cockpit of my Hiller 12ET (Soloy),
looked around and asked where the carb heat control was. I kind of
chuckled at his joke, but it wasn't a joke and he got miffed with me
for laughing!
I didn't bother to try and explain it to him......
