Frederf Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Works for an airborne hot start. Make sure the dimmer lever is not minimum (bottom). Tried on the ground cold start as well, keeping switch to open started engine. As soon as generators/hydraulics kicked on door opened and cockpit indicator illuminated "RDY".
