AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL
AFM H8001 SINGLE & DUAL COCKPIT Revision A Page 38
FAA APPROVAL DATE: 8/05/2014
The recommended Air Start Procedure is:
a. Auto start enable Switch: ON
b. Engine Start Switch: ON
c. Fuel Condition Lever: IDLE
When the engine reaches idle RPM,
d. Auto Start Enable Switch: OFF
e. Propeller Lever: High RPM/Forward
f. Power Lever: ADJUST to desired position
g. CHECK that the Engine Operating Limits are not exceeded.
h. If a satisfactory start is not obtained, discontinue the air start.
i. Repeat the engine start procedure if another starting attempt is to
be made.
NOTE:
Propeller feathering is dependent on circumstances and is at the
discretion of the pilot. Fine pitch selection will pump air through
the engine, and therefore increase the gas generator motoring
speed during the Air Start procedure. Regardless of where the
prop control lever is, loss of engine oil pressure will cause the
prop to feather.
NOTE:
A re-light normally should be obtained within 10 seconds and will
be evidenced first by a rise in gas generator RPM. A rise in the
ITT will also be noted.
NOTE:
The best air start technique is to initiate the restart procedure
immediately after flameout occurs, if the pilot is certain that the
flameout was not the result of some malfunction which might
make the attempt to restart unsafe.
