Title: Re: Difficulty starting engine
Post by cvkn on Aug 20th, 2010 at 8:59am
Hi,

I am flying this aircrat for 1 hour now. I made 2 out of 2 succesfull engine starts.

I load the aircraft with all systems off.

I use my own checklist: (maybe it's not the real checklist, but it works for me)

Before start checklist

Battery switch                        on
Galley switch                        on
External power / external air (animations panel)      on      
External power switch                        on
External power source                        ext
AC parallel                              ext
Gen breakers/ gen conrols / bus tie breaker            off / check all red lights off
All gengine bleed                        on
DC                              tr 3
All fuel systemes / fuel transfer / manifold            on

Engine start checklist (engine 1)

Fuel control                              start
Ground start                        low press
Engine start                        ground (monitor N2)
Fuel control                              idle
Repeat                              engine 2, 3, 4

After start checklist

External power source                        gen 3
Acc parallel                              gen 3
External power switch                        off
External power / external air (animations panel)      off      
Left / right airco unit                        on
Avionics                              set key in FSX / on

(excuse my for the 'tabs')

Kind regards,

Constantijn van Kooten Niekerk
