Cannot Start Engines 2 & 3

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,

I have installed the new BAe146-200/300, and the install appears to have been successful.

I have followed the start procedure, but I am unable to start engines No. 2 & 3 (Air Brazil BAe146-200). They spool-up OK, but they won't ignite; I suspect it's fuel starvation.

Just in case, I have tried battery power and external power, and they spool up fine to beyond 20%.

Engines 1 & 4 are fine, and they start OK using the procedure.

Fuel pumps are on, but the rest of the fuel panel I have left in it's default C&D state, but I have also tried various combinations of standby pumps, common feeds, x-feeds etc.

If I use the automatic start-up sequence icon, all engines fire up OK.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Fabio

	Hi, Yes, thanks, that worked OK. This wasn't necessary on the previous version. Fabio
