Engine Start Flow · from memory

  1. PUSHBACK / START CLEARANCEOBTAINED
  2. ENG START SELECTORSTART
  3. ENG MASTER 2ON

    4. Geared turbofan — the fan turns far slower than the core, so the start is long, quiet and looks lazy on the gauges. Let the FADEC run it.

  4. ENG MASTER 1ON

    5. After a long soak the FADEC may motor the engine first to straighten a bowed rotor. That delay is the system working, not a hung start.
