NORMAL PROCEDURES
STARTING ENGINE
The starting engine checklist procedures should be followed closely to
assure a satisfactory engine start. With the FUEL CONDITION lever in
the CUTOFF position, move the STARTER switch to the START
position; verify that the amber STARTER ON and white IGNITION ON
annunciators are shown. Next, check for a positive indication of engine
oil pressure. After N

general range of 90 to 140 PPH. After the engine starts and during
acceleration to idle (approximately 55% N
Maximum ITT during engine start is 1090°C, limited to 2 seconds.
Typically, the ITT during start is well below this maximum value. After
the engine has stabilized at idle, the amber STARTER ON annunciator
should not be shown. If this annunciator remains ON, it indicates the
starter has not been automatically disengaged during the engine
starting sequence due to a failed speed sensor.
If no ITT rise is observed within 10 seconds after
moving the FUEL CONDITION lever to the LOW IDLE
position, or ITT rapidly approaches 1090°C, move the
FUEL CONDITION lever to CUTOFF and perform the
ENGINE CLEARING PROCEDURE in this section.
