An engine bleed control system for a gas turbine engine of an aircraft is provided. The engine bleed control system includes a multi-tap bleed array including engine bleed taps coupled to a compressor source of a lower pressure compressor section before a highest pressure compressor section of the gas turbine engine. A highest stage of the engine bleed taps has a maximum bleed temperature below an auto-ignition point of a fuel-air mixture of the aircraft at idle engine power at a maximum aircraft altitude and a pressure suitable for pressurizing the aircraft at the maximum aircraft altitude. The engine bleed control system also includes a plurality of valves operable to extract bleed air from each of the engine bleed taps. A controller is operable to selectively open and close each of the valves based on a bleed air demand and control delivery of the bleed air to an aircraft use.
