Botched right engine cold start – how to correct and restart?

[Razor18]

Hi Gents,

 

yesterday during the startup training, after a good left engine start I forgot to turn on Fuel pump right and governor right before pressing Start right engine and right fuel valve lever open, which resulted in a no-start, where the turbine RPM fluctuated around 20ish%. But then I couldn’t start it even after correcting my mistake by turning on R fuel pump ang governor, pressing start again, and leaving fuel valve lever open, because then I had temperature stopping at around 100-150 °C but AFAIK turbine RPM at 0% and never moved up. What did I do wrong while trying to restart, or how can I correct such a no-start and succesfully re-start my right engine?

Thanks

Once you realized the mistake, you should've closed the Right engine shutoff valve (red lever), press STOP button while the APU/Turbo Gear switch is still on Right engine.  Let the RPM drop back down to 0 and then continue with correct procedure.

I think I did, but will try next time. Thanks!
