RE: What effects or controls spool up time?
Lucky,
What engine is it. That will determine if something is wrong with your turbine or if it's OPS Normal. An old Jet Cat P-80 might take 7 to 8 seconds to spool up...a new SX or what ever they are called spool much faster. If it's a Falcon and it's messed up internally or the settings in the ECU are all mis set...that could be a reason.
So...what's the engine and how old is it?
