Spanish term or phrase: parte de Arranque y Corrida de motor

Hello,

I am translating an investigation report regarding a plane crash.

The section below is taken from a statement from the mechanic who worked on the plane on the day of the accident. I am struggling with "indicaba “Corta” en la parte de Arranque y Corrida de motor":

Cuando se le preguntó porque indicaba “Corta” en la parte de Arranque y Corrida de
motor, donde indica parámetros, en el Formato del Programa de Inspección Aprobado
PIA OB-1808; manifestó que cuando cerraba la válvula selectora demoraba más de 05
minutos en apagar el motor, pero que el no había llegado a comprobarlo porque
demoraba demasiado.

My attempt is "indicated "Cut" (or "OFF"?) in the ignition/running section of the engine. I can't find a reference to Arranque y Corrida anywhere.

Thanks

Arranque y Corrida de motor engine start/engine run-up

Explanation:
As for "corta" we need more context. It could be an order to the pilot. "Shut down" (the engine)

I would not use "cut" or "off" by no means.

Did the mechanic write "corta" (a description) in the form?
Did he tell the pilot "corta" (an instruction)?

Engine ignition and running section

Explanation:
More or less as you suggest yourself. I agree with you that it is "Arranque y Corrida" and not "Corrida de motor", the capitalisation indicates this as well.
