WIsh I completely understood the start-up procedure relative to the generators - sonthing he mentions in previous video about "frying everything" if something wasn't shut off after starting one engine.
Seems to be a good instructor however, the 2 most important gauges in a turbine engine start are the high pressure compressor RPM AND the ITT gauge! They completely ignored the engine temp on start which is a really big no no. You can see the instructor was watching it out of the corner of his eye, but he should really have mentioned it to the student. The scan I do is for start is: Ng-ITT-Fuel Flow-ITT-Oil Pressure-ITT-Ng-ITT. That's kept me Hot and Hung Start free for a couple of years.
You must have chameleon eyes.. lol. Just watch oil pressure and fuel flow. If those are nominal, you have tons of time to look at ITT for light off and rise. If they aren’t nominal, stop the start right there.. ICO, starter to starter only..
Still not clear on the start-up procedures with regards to the generators on/off. Something in the first video about "frying everything" if something was left on. Would love a detailed explanation from anyone about this...
You mean at 1:30? I don't know what iteration of a PT-6 is on this bird, but it appears to have a two-stage fuel introduction sequence. That is, once the pilot moves the fuel lever from cutoff to low idle, fuel is sent to half of the fuel injectors until somewhere around 35% Ng, at which fuel goes through the remaining injectors. Helps keep the starts a lot cooler.
Battery start is 22VDC according to checklist, missed the fuel panel check. And the biggest mistake: WHY did you not even glance at ITT!!!??? Nobody even confirmed the engine did not do a hot start! Not bad overall, but missed some things.
comment. do not teach your student to forget the database and info on the GPS as you turn it on. a lot of accidents due to datase out of date. do not use da da da. da.
This guy seems like a real good instructor
I would love to see more of these.
Thanks for sharing your videos.
I feel there is too much information at once but instructor seems super chill 😄
Great instructor...reminds me of my first instructor. She's an A320 captain today.
I like the me thing comment. You are right on. Nice instruction!
Wow, I’ve flown a B737, B757, B767, MD88, and an A330 and this thing is more complicated than all of those combined...lol
Smooth as a gravy sandwich, sir! Great instructor.
I couldn't afford this much training, thanks.
Thanks, Travis from a 200 initial student
Thank you so much for this video it helped me alot
whats his name or ig handle or any social media to follow him? he's a really good teacher
this has been really helpful, thank you
Great video, how you liking NCA? Looks like a solid outfit with good training support.
What's NCA, is that the aircraft tail number or what
No checklist?

Starting number one engine with GEN2 on. It must be OFF before starting engine #1.

Right generator goes off before left starter energize to protect against current spikes (turned on again just before left condition lever open)
And what is meant by "secondaries"?

what exactly is 24 hour check
We have no such thing as a “24 hr check”, does not exists according to Beechcraft and FAA in USA.
Yes it does. It’s right in the pilot operating handbook.
Just replace 24 hour with daily. ;)

Please. List all of the accidents that happened due to an out of date database.
