hi, i have a problem with starting the engines, i walk trough the checklist and startup the GTC and opening the bleedair valves, but when i push on the engine start button i hear a sound but the prop insn't  turning  :-? ? please can somebody help me. ;)

ps: i'm dutch so my english is maybe not very well

Hi Kkaii

Check that the wing isolation valves are open. When closed it stop air from the GTC to the engines.

even then they don't start, maybe i forget somthing else, the bleeds are open and the wing isolation and the gtc, must i do more?  ;)  

Sounds silly but did you also open the bleed air valve on the GTC.

yes, i startup the GTC, i open yhe bleed air of the GTC, i open the bleed air of the engines and wingvalve, but what to do next for starting props?  ;) Do you know what  all have to do to start up the props?

I did a bit of experimenting. The only time I could not get the props to turn was when I did not move the engine condition lever enough. Once I moved it past run then let go it turned ok.
Sorry I can not be more help. You might have a bug somewhere causing this fault.

Dax

okay, but  what do you turn on to get that far, do you turn all buttons or do you only turn on the GTC, GTC bleed air, engine bleed air, isolation and the condition lever?  ;)

Ok here goes.

1. Turn the battery on and open the bus tie switch
2. Open the GTC Door and turn the GTC control to START and let go.
3. Once the GTC has run up and the ON SPEED light is illuminated open the GTC bleed air valve.
4. Once the duct pressure has stablised you can start the ATM generator. Reset the ATM generator and put it on line.
5. Open the bleed air switch to the engine you wish to start.
6. Move the corrisponding condition level to AIR START and release. (It returns to the run position)
7. Press the relevant engine start button and wait until the RPM and TBT increase and the light above the start button illuminates. Release the START button.

You should now have a running engine. I could make it a lot more complicated but the guys at FS Station have done a great tutorial. You can visit the site using this link.
