Part B Section 2
It is essential that a positive confirmation of a BRAKES ON/OFF request is obtained when
communicating with the ground engineer.
06 ENGINE STARTING
After start-up approval has been obtained by the PNF and the Before Starting Checklist
has been completed, the engines are started. Engine starting will be done according the
crew co-ordination procedure below.
The PF devotes his full attention to starting the engines and monitors the engine
parameters.
The PNF monitors the PF and pays attention to any possible hand signals from the ground
engineer.
It is good practice to motor the engine through at least twelve blades with the ignition
switches off before starting the engine. This enables the oil pump to supply oil to the
reduction gear area and at the same time it will disclose the presence of any oil in the
cylinders (Hydraulicing)
