Ready Posted October 23, 2021 Posted October 23, 2021 Sometimes when starting from cold and dark I can just put the throttle to idle after APU has geared up and this starts the engines. Othertimes It does not work and I have to motor them. Why is that, anybody knows?

Frederf Posted October 23, 2021 Posted October 23, 2021 Not sure. I've never had an issue starting the engines from a standstill. Make sure the APU reaches 100% RPM before setting either throttle from OFF to IDLE. I'm curious to see a track where an engine failed to start without motoring. 1
jaylw314 Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) If you forget to turn the AC inverter on (STBY), the engine will crank and flood, since the igniters are powered by the AC essential bus. Then you need to motor the engine to clear it before running the start cycle again. Hard to imagine this is OP's problem, since it would fail on the second attempt if the inverter was still off, but it's another example I can think of that requires motoring to clear.

Ready Posted October 26, 2021 Author Posted October 26, 2021 Yeah but that's not it. I do it by the book and still sometimes the engines won't start by throttle alone.
