Hey fellows of this community. I have a question concerning about the correct way to startup the engines of this magnificent flying machine. More especificic I can say that I'm starting the engines using AUTOSTART option but I don´t know which percentage of N2, gives me the permission to move the fuel control lever for fuel feeding, I have read in FCOM manuals but they don´t show the step by step procedure and percentages of N2.

 

Another question, is that correct to derate the engines for short flights until rates of 80. (this is lower rates than TO-1 or TO.-2 this gives derate about 89 or 92).

 

Thanks in advance

I believe for engine start, you do not have to wait for a specific N2 percentage. As soon as you flick the starter, you can set the fuel control switch to run. The automation of the aircraft will take care of the rest.
