zero Posted December 3, 2017 Posted December 3, 2017 Watching videos I have seen a few strange procedures. Correct procedure: 1. Apply air pressure. There is no starter unit. Just blowing air directly at the turbine. (No time limit) 2. Press start button. This is really just ignition ON. In a silent aircraft you should hear the sparks (Not simulated) 3. Open throttle for fuel. Doing this in wrong sequence (fuel first - then ignition) will certainly give a canon bang and a hot start. Working on F5-A myself. A typical error was to forget battery ON. Waiting for light up - start to scan cockpit -- oopss - battery switch OFF. A quick reaction was to turn battery on. With engine full of fuel - this ended up with a loud canon bang. Correct procedure to fix this: is to cut fuel - keep the engine turning a minute to blow out fuel. Then battery ON.

zero Posted December 3, 2017 Author Posted December 3, 2017 Sorry -do not remember.. Most common is to have throttle open prior to startup.

dimitrischal Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 May I add performing a cross bleed start on the other engine? Really helps my turnaround times in Cold War server.
Lummox Posted December 24, 2017 Posted December 24, 2017 Hope I'm not hijacking this thread, but I think my question is sort of directly related: How long do I need to push the "Start" button? Is it just a momentary push? Do I hold until I introduce throttle? Do I hold until N1 is up to x%? Anybody in the know? Would be appreciated. Cheers
Rudel_chw Posted December 24, 2017 Posted December 24, 2017 Its a momentary push, but do it after the engine spools up to 10%.

Lummox Posted December 24, 2017 Posted December 24, 2017 Thanks Rudel. Thanks bbrz. This was the info I was looking for :) : The only thing the start button does is to arm the ignition circuit and allows it to run for approx. 40sec. Have a merry Christmas y'all.
