An aircraft engine includes a precooler disposed within a nacelle. The precooler defines an ambient air passage and a bleed air passage. Air passes through the precooler from an ambient air inlet to an ambient air outlet. Bleed air passes through the precooler from a bleed air inlet to a bleed air outlet. Heat is transferred between the air and the bleed air via heat exchange within the precooler. At least one pressure relief door disposed proximate to the air outlet of the engine. A controller is operatively connected to the pressure relief door. The controller at least opens the pressure relief door based on a demand for increased flow of air through the ambient air passage.
