starting engins

Featured Replies

Hello to the instructors,Can someone give me a list of step by step for starting the engins without forgeting anything. the manual seems to be a little disordered,and it's difficult for me to start up with cold cocpit.thanksuri

Here's a copy of a post someone wrote about two years ago. I don't remember who was the original poster but I want to acknowledge it isn't my original work."Here's what to do to get engines started from a "dead" airplane without the pictures:Parking Brake: ONBattery switch: ONStandby Power: AUTOAPU: StartAPU Generator: ONBus Isolation Switches: AUTOAt this point, once the APU RUN light comes on, you should have power.L & R UTIL BUS switches: ONIRU switches: ALIGNCurrent Position: Enter in FMS after clearing ENTER IRS POSITION message in format AXXXX.XBYYYYY.Y where X is the latitude coordinates to the nearest 10th of a minute and Y is the longitde coordinates to the nearest 10th of a second. If you're at 10 east, you'd enter E01000.0. A will be either N or S; B will be either E or W. Do not move the airplane until the align lights are out and you have a correct view of your position on the Navigation Display.While you're waiting for IRU alignment, set up the rest of the cockpit starting with the overhead panels moving down on the left below the IRUs and moving up, then down, then up again. This is the easiest way to avoid overlooking something.[/font color]Hydraulic Switches: ON for Primary, AUTO for demandGenerators: ONSeat Belt sign: ONNo Smoke Sign: ONLeft Yaw Damper: ONStart Switches: OFFFuel Pumps: ONPacks: OFFTrim Air and Recirc Fans: OFFMove down to the pedestal and select the L&R EEC switches ONSet the MCP panel for initial altitude and runway heading.Once your IRUs are aligned, red anticollision lights and position lights: ONNow pushback using the B767-300 menu bar. You are ready to start engines. Parking Brake: ONAPU bleed air valves: ONR bleed ISOL switch: ONWhen you have 25 lbs PSI in the right bleed duct, move the right start switch to GND. When the N2 reaches the purple line, Fuel Switch to RUN. When N2 is above 50, you repeat the process for the left engine by selecting the left isolation valve and moving the left start switch to GND and selecting RUN when the N2 on the left side is at the purple line.Once engines are running, turn the Packs ON and the Trim Air and Recirc Fans ONYou should have at this point no messages on the EICAS and you are almost ready to taxi. Just a few things left to do: Set flaps for takeoff, check your trim settings on the pedestal, select TO/GA on the thrust control panel above the landing gear lever, select RTO on the autobrakes switch, select flight director ON.This will get you flying by hand, but programming the Flight Management Computer and using the autopilot is a tutorial for another day. At maximum weight, rotation speed is 163 and V2 is 172. Climb out at about 200 kts, retract the gear and flaps and accelerate to 250 knots."Hope this helps.

THat's what i call a "two mach speed" answer and it's exactly why i like this forum with its instructors.(and the pic 767 of-course...:-lol)many thanksuri :-beerchug

Please don't say "mach 2" in this forum......it's more like "mach .799"
