Actually it isn’t rare double engine starts happen all the time only GE CF6-80c2 can do double starts and the genx on the 747-8 Pw4000 equipped 747 can’t dual engine start
At 0:18 the bass sound is incredible, even better when you hear it inside the cabin. Did earlier versions of the 747 require each engine to be started separately? I think the procedure varies by airline. Some start one from each wing and then do the remaining two, others do as you see here by doing both on one side.
Yes indeed you are correct. The older versions such as the 200/300 did start one by one, but the -400 has an APU capable of starting 2 engines at the same time. But also depends on company requirements if they want their pilots to start 2 by 2 or 4 than 3 than 2 ect..
The GE CF6 are probably the best sounding engine left out there. A pure music for an AvGeek.
I miss the JT8D
Nah, the RB211 takes that honour. Especially when at full chat.
@@bmused55 Agreed.
I have never seen this procedure before. Starting both engines simultaneously is very rare to see...Congratulations...
Thanks again. That's one of the unique parts of the -400 series.
Amazing!!!!
Its done on a 747 since each engine take longer to start than it would on a twinjet, and there are 4 of them in total
The b747-400 has a great APU. This is why it is possible to start both engines simultaneously.

PW equipped 747 are unable to do dual engine starts , only cf6 and genx on the 747-8
Don’t know on a RR never worked on those
Intimidatingly loud. Brilliant.

TWCSteven Live yep
2020 😢
I have flown the City of Lima from Amsterdam to Houston, Texas.
Serious amount of power from the APU to start 2 at once!!!!!
mic1028 yes indeed. Awesome aircraft
Could all 4 be started in theory at the same time, just curious!@@EyeOnFlights
@@mic1028 -400 APU is capable only to start 2 at the same time
The question that I still have, is why some of the spirals in the engine are different than the others.
Nice video keep it up 😊
Dhiradj Sewpal thanks man
This was filmed in Suriname the country im in right now...
Not sure the PWs or RRs can be started up by pair...
Nice
Why don't they do this every time? Seems more efficient.
SmalltoFace Yes they do. Check video description 👍
Have to admit it was really good..but the music ruined it.
wanted to hear the takeoff as well
dammm 🔥🔥🔥
👍🙏
