Turbine Running States
The JetCat turbine progresses through several operating states, from ignition to the
cool down process. The transitions of these states are automatically controlled by the
ECU and by user commands. The current value is always displayed on the GSU, under
the STATE selection in the RUN menu.

AUX switch positioned to the Start / Standby position, throttle trim at
maximum and throttle stick at idle. The LED chase sequence is started
from green to red to yellow, continuously. When throttle stick is
advanced to the maximum position, the starter motor engages to spin
the rotor. When RPM reaches a pre-programmed value, the starter
motor’s voltage is removed and the turbine is ready to ignite.
