=Mac= Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Just for the heck of it, I tried a ground start (versus powering up the apu) and watched the right engine start to spool on the DDI. There was temperature but no rpm to determine when to come off the throttle detent. Is this normal or am I missing something? The Hornet is best at killing things on the ground. Now, if we could just get a GAU-8 in the nose next to the AN/APG-65, a titanium tub around the pilot, and a couple of J-58 engines in the tail...

Tholozor Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) Did you hit the crank switch? Also, make sure you set the Bleed Air Knob to OFF for an external air start.

Robin_Hood Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Yep. For an entirely ground-supported start: External Electrical Power Battery - ON Connect ground power - ON External Power switch - RESET (temporary) then NORM Ground Power 1 - B (held 3 seconds) Ground Power 2, 3, 4 (if desired) - B This give you power to all systems Engine start (ground power is not necessary, though, you can do that on battery) Connect ground air supply Bleed air - OFF (so that the external air isn't going into the other systems) Apply air Engine crank - L or R Throttle L or R - IDLE at 15-20% Repeat for the next engine Bleed air - NORM This should work 2nd French Fighter Squadron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
