A system for bleeding air from a core flow path of a gas turbine engine includes a bleed valve in a bleed air duct configured to receive bleed air from a first entrance point to the core flow path into the bleed air duct; a pressurized air valve in a pressurized air duct configured to receive pressurized air from a second entrance point to the core flow path, the pressurized air at a pressure greater than that received into the first entrance point; an eductor outlet from the pressurized air duct located in the bleed air duct; and a control system operable to control operation of the bleed valve and the pressurized air valve.
