February 26, 201610 yr Hello, I would like to know if there is a quick B772 description exists for the release of the two engines, and then for triggering, because of the refueling at the gate please? I thought maybe it would work by turning the CUTOFF 2 switches, and then On again... Panel after ShutDown Overhead panel after ShutDown Panel after switch On CUT OFF switches with STABILIZER warning... Regards, Jaap Mooijer Regards Jaap Mooyer

February 26, 201610 yr Author Thank you, Kyle, for sure to know, i'ts right i've to folow the instructions from PMDG-777-Tutorial-1.5. Shut Down engines page 18 and start Engines page 20 i think.. Regards Jaap Mooyer
February 27, 201610 yr The fuel cutoff switches have nothing to do with refuelling. They control fuel flow to the engines. Why would you want toput the switches on at the gate?
February 27, 201610 yr Author Thank you, the fuel is an example, when i'm on a gate, and í've to boarding/catering, you have to switch off engines first, and restart later. Now i know how to do with the B738, but not with the B772... Regards Jaap Mooyer
February 27, 201610 yr but not with the B772... Kevinh has pointed it out above your post, to shut the engines down at the gate first you either need to connect ground power or apu since if you shut down the engines you will loose power. To shut down the engines simply turn the fuel cut switches to off I7-8700k,Corsair h1101 cooler ,Asus Strix Gaming Intel Z370 S11 motherboard, Corsair 32gb ramDD4,, gtx 1080ti Card, RM850 power supply Peter kelberg
February 27, 201610 yr Author Thank you, I prefer to use/learn APU so I can switch Off everywhere if needed. I've to Learn how to do this first, but what about the bleed air switch? If I can, only cut off fuel switches and later switch on, and switch APU Off. Regards Jaap Mooyer
February 28, 201610 yr Thank you, I prefer to use/learn APU so I can switch Off everywhere if needed. I've to Learn how to do this first, but what about the bleed air switch? If I can, only cut off fuel switches and later switch on, and switch APU Off.You can leave the bleed air switch on all the time. If the APU isn't running the valve will be closed. The only APU control is the switch on the overhead. There is no connection to the engine fuel switches.
February 28, 201610 yr Author Hello Pete and Kevin, thank you very much, all clear now. SHUTOFF engines: Start APU, and wait +/- 1 minut till APU is running FUEL CONTROLS on CUTOFF STARTUP engines FUEL CONTOLS on RUN START both engines After 1 minut engines turning, then switch off APU I Hope it's the right way i'm doing it? Regards, Jaap Mooijer Regards Jaap Mooyer
February 28, 201610 yr Jaap, Yes, that will all work but it's more usual to move the engine start switch to start, then the fuel switch to run. Some airline SOP is to check oil pressure rising before switching the fuel switches on. Having the fuel switches in cutoff inhibits some EICAS messages related to the engine not running and you just get the ENG SHUTDOWN advisory instead. If you put the fuel switches on first these EICAS cautions will reappear resulting in master caution aurals and a master warning siren (STABILIZER).
February 28, 201610 yr Author Thank you very much Kevin, i'm glad to know, I will change the order in my self maked tutor. Regards Jaap Mooyer
