Question 3

Start Up Procedure

Answer 3

1. Fire guard is around
2. Rotor Area is clear left and right
3. Rotor Brake Caution indication is off

We will immediatly abort the start and call maintenance,

if ignition does not take place within 15 second or TOT rises above limits. We also abort the start if we don’t see positive Engine and transmission oil pressure indications or the N2 and Rotor RPM needles do NOT match after reaching ground idle conditions.

In case of an abort the pilot on the controls has the twist grip to turn off, remember thumbs down.
The Pilot not on the controls will turn off the Engine start switch and perform the engine ventilation.

For our cautions:

Do not perform engine ventilation with a closed fuel valve, nor exceed the starter duty cycle of 30 seconds with a battery start. Also watch our TOT closely not to exceed TOT limitations or the starting transient for more than 5 seconds. At last we make sure that N1 accelerates continuously through 50 - 65% RPM.

4. First limit indicator - Check square on TOT and start triangles are displayed
5. Twist Grip - Preselect XXX
6. ENG 1 or 2 - Start

I have twist grip number XXX and the call outs, you have starter number XXX and the Stopwatch.
