    Posted: 31 Dec 2012 at 11:45am
Hi,  I have just purchased the 146 but no matter how rigorously I follow the engine start procedures, they won't fire.  The N1 pressure rises but the engine won't light.  All the pumps are on but the only way I can start is using the Automatic start facility.

Any ideas?
 
Cheers

Hi,  I think I solved it.  Instead of loading the plane immediately, I loaded the default flight and then selected the 146, engines then fired with no problems.   

Thanks for the reply.

I have also found the fuel mixture an issue on the 146 when doing manual engine starts:

1. Symptom
eng 4 starts OK
eng 3 only spools to 4% N1
eng 2 only spools to 4% N1
eng 1 starts OK

2. Fix
add full rich mix (ctrl-shift-F4)

2.a Permanent Fix
save default flight with rich mixture
To infinity and beyond. For certain values of infinity.
