Here is the starting sequence for the Jet Ranger.
Right out of the manual ( I am bored waiting for a bank-run I have to fly tonight....)
ENGINE STARTING
Collective pitch - Full down.
Throttle - Full closed
Rotors - Clear.
Starter - Engage (observe Eingine Starter Limitations, Section 1).
Engine oil pressure - Indication of increase.
Throttle - Open to flight idle at 15% gas producer RPM
with Turbine Outlet Temperature (TOT) at or below 150C.
CAUTION
A START SHOULD NOT BE ATTEMPTED
AT N1 SPEEDS BELOW 12%
(*** I am skipping an explanation here about
different N1's versus OAT and max TOT limits) CAUTION
IF THE MAIN ROTOR IS NOT ROTATING BY 25%
GAS PRODUCER SPEED (N1), ABORT THE START.
Starter - Release at 58% gas producer RPM (N1).
Engine and transmission oil - Check pressures increasing.
(*** skipping more stuff here not pertinent to the sim)Gas Producer ROM (N1) - Check for 60 to 62%.
External power - Disconnect; BAT On.
Throttle - Open to 70% gas producer RPM.
GEN switch - On.
Radio Equipment - On.
*** and then it goes into the hydraulics check which you might not do on the sim either....BEFORE TAKEOFF
Electrical equipment - Check; reset as required.
Lighting - As desired.
INST LT switch (rheostat) - As desired.
Radio - Check as required.
Throttle - Full open.
Power and flight instruments - Normal operating range.
Generator load - Below 70% (Note - normal load is 10%-20%).
Power turbine N2 - Set for 100% in flat pitch
and off you go! tada
