two engine start

Is the B777 capable of starting his engines both at the same time?I thought it was possible but not sure about it.

[Guest Taylor Dumont]

Yes, indeed it is possible for the 777 to start both engines at the same time.Taylor

But they usually dont

I saw it once in EDDF. But I just couldn't imagine. This is the only a/c that is capable of starting all it's engines at the same time.

[Guest MD11_FLYER]

It also comes down to having to monitor all 4 engines, which is risky, dont want to hot start a 12 million dollar engine :D

B737-700 has a powerful enough APU too. Like they said you usually don't since it can but it will take much longer to get motor power.Justin

United starts both engines at a time in there 777's.

If you autostart engines, they will automatically watch out for hotstarts themselves

[Guest Midnight LS1]

>If you autostart engines, they will automatically watch out>for hotstarts themselvesThe only thing that the autostart doesn't monitor is the oil pressure. If no oil pressure occurs when autostart is under way, it will continue to start the engine.That's what needs to be monitored when using autostart.

>United starts both engines at a time in there 777's.Exactly. UA was the airline I saw that started both it's engines at the same time.
