3.4.1.19 Manual Cued Engine Start Trainer Mode

The manual start-up and shut-down mode operate similarly to the automatic procedure described

above, except that after highlighting the required input on the panel the helicopter waits for the pilot

to perform the action before progressing to the next step.

As with the fully automatic sequences, the pilot can abort the sequence at any time by pressing the

flashing “T” Trainer icon.

Important note: The pilot should ensure that all 2D panels, (main panel, overhead, pedestal and

collective) are open and visible in order to follow the manual cued sequence, otherwise the process

may appear to “hang” when waiting for a user input on an unopened panel.

Most actions are self-explanatory and simply require a switch setting to be changed. However,

throttle control is a little more complicated. The following table describes each expected action:

Image Cue Required Action

Close throttle fully

Open throttle fully

Open throttle past idle release

latch, (but no further)

Close throttle to idle release

latch, (but not below)

Open throttle slowly

until combustion

occurs, (“light-off”)

(CECO FCU only.)
