CAUTION
An automatic electronic device adds the ignition with a time delay of
three seconds after the starter is actuated, which means that the starter
must always be operated for at least three seconds. The time delay
allows the propeller blades to be fully deployed before the engine starts,
and consequently reduces the loads for the propeller blades and their
corresponding stops.
CAUTION
If the engine fires before the expected time delay of three seconds is
over, i.e. in case of a malfunctioning electronic device, the following
checks must be performed before the next flight in accordance with
the aircraft maintenance manual:
AMM section 5.3.13 item 5 for the
retarder module, and
AMM section 5.3.15 items 3 through 5 for the
propeller.
CAUTION
During a cold engine start-up, the power lever should be fully pulled
back into position ”power idle”. In case of a warm engine start-up, it is
possible to open the throttle slightly (add up to 10% power) to improve
the engine start-up behavior.
CAUTION
If the drive system was not operated for > 5 minutes, propeller blades
are in T/O-position regardless of actual switch position. If switch is in
cruise position, pitch control mechanism begins to move blades with the
engine start.
CAUTION
If engine starter does not operate for restart, refer to the Basic Aircraft
Flight Manual section 3.7.3.
