Engines Die

[ATAG-chair1]

I'm on the ramp going through start up . soon after starting engines they die. I have the procedure printed out form an official text but I have tried this about 5 times and every time engines die as I am swtching off the APU generator and APU:):dunno:

Please post a track. You're doing something wrong. :)

 

Are your fuel pumps on? Are the electricals required to power the pumps on? Are you letting the engines properly spool up before shutting down the APU?

Are your fuel pumps on?

 

Equally important: Is there fuel in the tank? :)

 

But yeah, a track would greatly help narrow it down.

I read "they die" as in both engines die and not a single engine dies, ergo I think that its highly unlikely this is caused by no boost pumps. The DC Boost Pump is what feeds the APU and will simultaneously feed the Left Engine if I recall correctly. This means that the only engine that should fail would be the Right Engine, but even then the Right Engine shouldn't even be able to start with the boost pumps off unless you enable crossfeed from the Left Fuel system.

 

The question I would ask is whether you're actually getting the engines fully started or if you're just attempting a start and seeing them die. Are you trying to start both engines at once or trying to start the second engine before you see the "Engine Start Sequence" light on the caution panel go out?

 

Track would explain it pretty fast.

Sounds like Fuel Pumps arent on,

 

Engines dont spool up to the 60% minimum RPM,

 

And as soon as you cut the APU, the engines spool down.

 

 

Or you dont have the AC Gens Enabled... same result.
