(3) Thrust Lever – IDLE
(4) Area Aircraft / Propeller – CLEAR
(5) "Engine Master" – ON, wait until the Glow Control light

Note:
Procedures apply only to TAE 125-02-99.
For TAE 125-01 refer to procedures for
airfield elavations up to 5500ft.
Note: Due to the increase of the idle speed with
increasing pressure altitudes, the FADEC
test is only possible to a limited extent from
an airfield elevation of approximately
5500ft.
Over 5500ft, the FADEC test is only possi-
ble if the load selector lever remains in the
idle position after engine start until the
FADEC test is starting.
If the load selector lever is moved from the
idle position, a FADEC test is no longer
possible at pressure altitudes above 5500ft.
For this purpose, the engine has to be
stopped and re-started to perform the
FADEC test.
WARNING: Do not use ground power unit for engine
starts. It is not allowed to start up the
engine using external power. If starting the
engine is not possible using battery power,
the condition of the battery must be verified
before flight.
