Correct startup procedure

Featured Replies

Hello Is there someone who can tell me correct startup procedure? I tried to find them in the manual and also "google". I learn MD-11's startup procedures from Tutorial and also from youtube. So is there any guides or someone tell me, please?

Start up from what? Cold and dark or engine start or something else? Either way, you want either (or both) the Normal Procedures and Supplementary Procedures; both in FCOM Vol.1

Start APU, engage APU Generators, Switch on APU Bleed, ENG 1 and ENG2 bleeds Off. Isolation Valve Auto, Packs off (notice that the Duct Pressure will rise when switching off the packs) start engine number 2 and switch the fuel cutoff switch to IDLE at 18% N2. same for engine # 1. When engines stabilized switch on Engine Bleeds, APU Bleed off and packs to auto. Engage Engine Generators and switch off APU. I guess this is also in the Tutorial?

From Cold and dark...

From Cold and dark...
Switch on Battery, Set Stanby Power Switch to Auto, Start APU, engage APU Generators, Switch on APU Bleed, ENG 1 and ENG2 bleeds Off. Isolation Valve Auto, Packs off (notice that the Duct Pressure will rise when switching off the packs) start engine number 2 and switch the fuel cutoff switch to IDLE at 18% N2. same for engine # 1. When engines stabilized switch on Engine Bleeds, APU Bleed off and packs to auto. Engage Engine Generators and switch off APU. I guess this is also in the Tutorial? And do not forget to align the IRS or you won't be able to navigate on your instruments. This requires also entering the coordinates of your postion into the POS INIT page in your FMC.

Please take the time to read the Intro, the tutorial and particularly the NORMAL section of the FCOM-there is a DETAILED procedural flow there-with step by step directions. NORMALS pg 77; SUPPL pg 163; ELEC pg 209 and PRESS pg 177.The NORMAL CHECKLIST is on page 25 of the QRH. Follow along step by step - don't skip- and your CFMs will growl into life :)

Best-
