First Engine Start Attempt Part 1

Aircraft had been sitting for 9 months. Batteries were charged using external GPU with battery switches in override. FIrst start cycle was slower than normal. Second attempt was faster.

Ooh I like the flaps indicator!

Would of been nice to see what kind of aircraft and an outside view to understand better what was going on.

[@scottphillips8400]

It’s a Saab 340. The owners don’t want outside video identifying the aircraft. So I respect their stance. Plus, it’s on a Saab training UA-cam page, so I thought it was inferred. If you have any more questions, please feel free to let me know

[@LotusMorning]

​@@scottphillips8400 it's actually just on UA-cam with NO identifiers other than "first engine start". Nothing listing Saab or anything at all that is even a plane

[@LotusMorning]

You're so right

I always thought the SAAB 340 was a bad ass aircraft!

[@scottphillips8400]

I’ve always loved it and I flew military jets.

Saab 340. If in doubt look up at the checklist below the glare shield

Interesting, thanks for the video. Enjoyed seeing the startup procedures, cool stuff.

We used to call that form of percussive maintance an “ameri-tap”

Amazing, isn’t it?

[@lescraythorn2361]

Hi Scott, I can’t answer this meter anemology but wonder, was there a secret lub for the dwell movement or was it simply a mechanical friction thing?

[@scottphillips8400]

@@lescraythorn2361 I would have to talk to my maintenance folks on this question. That is pretty in depth. I’ll try. Or maybe there are some maintenance people here that know the answer

Are we supposed to be mind readers, WHAT Type AIRCRAFT?

[@scottphillips8400]

I posted the video on a Saab 340 training site. I failed to put Saab 340 in the title and now all of our top-secret, super cool Saab 340 engine start videos are being leaked to the rest of the world. I’m probably going to jail for this or at least lose my security clearance.

What kind of plane is it?

Me too

[@jim7082]

What is this? Why no intro to tell us what this is?

[@scottphillips8400]

I posted it on a Saab 340 training site. Unfortunately I didn’t qualify what it was in the title, because it was directed at a very small audience. Sorry for the confusion.

Just re-read what you said in the thumbnail. That's not what happened!
