Ladan Posted yesterday at 01:13 AM Posted yesterday at 01:13 AM Not sure where in the forum to fit this, but just wanted to know if there's been changes to the F-16. I have noticed yesterday and the other day that I can no longer cold start it the way I used to, which was the battery, then another switch (forgot the name), and then the couple of switches at the right side panel. It used to be really easy! Now it's like I'm missing something, and needing more. I don't know the new procedure so am just using Win + Home. Is there a simple procedure? I miss the old cold start up . Loving the sound of the engine though, which seems an upgrade
Solution Czar66 Posted yesterday at 01:53 AM Solution Posted yesterday at 01:53 AM Page 142 from the manual got you covered. MAIN PWR switch – BATT. Verify light on ELEC Control Panel: ACFT BATT “FLCS RLY” – On. FLCS PWR TEST switch – TEST and hold. FLCS PWR TEST switch – Release. MAIN PWR switch – MAIN PWR. JFS switch – START 2. Throttle – Advance to IDLE at 20% RPM minimum. More in depth in the manual, of course. After this, just turn everything that you need to on. MIDS to ON only after INS is fully aligned and in NAV. 1
