Cleared to start check below the line (actually starting the engines) and callouts
1st flight of the day - L engine first
Put finger up to Glareshield to tell ground crew you’re ready to spool up
- Packs - OFF
- Ignition - ARMED
- Fuel Check Valve - (standby)…
Place hand on respective thrust lever, and push in started for 3 seconds min
“N2”
“oil pressure”
“N1”
- Looking for 20 percent N2 then Thrust lever to Idle
“fuel flow”
ITT rise - “Light off”
“Started cutout”
Keep hand on thrust lever until 246:
(2x - N1) (4xx - ITT) (6x - N2)
Turn off fuel pumps - look for L R BOOST PUMP INOP and L R FUEL LO PRESS cautions…if does not appear proceed to dry motor! - then turn fuel pumps back on
