  Chapter 15: Transition to Turbopropeller-Powered Airplanes › Operational Considerations

  second consideration for transitioning pilots concerns turbine engine heat sensitivity. A turbine engine cannot tolerate an over temperature condition for more than a very seconds without experiencing serious damage. Engine temperatures get hotter during starting than at any other time ... part of the pilot remain crucial until the engine is running at a stable speed. Successful engine starting depends on assuring the correct minimum battery voltage before initiating start or employing a ground power unit (GPU) of adequate output. After…

  Chapter 17: Transition to Light Sport Airplanes (LSA) › Flight Environment › Before Start and Starting Engine

  Before Start and Starting Engine Once a pilot has completed the preflight inspection of the LSA, the pilot should properly seat themselves in the airplane ensuring that the rudder pedals can be exercised with full-range movement without over-reaching ... Seat belts should be checked for proper position and security. The pilot should continue to use the POH checklists. Starting newer generation LSA engines can be quite simple and only require the pull of the choke and a twist…

  taxiway or runway. Note that at night, the Emergency Stop signal is used for all stop indications . Engine Starting Airplane engines vary substantially and specific procedures for engine starting should be accomplished in reference to the approved engine start checklist ... AFM/POH. However, some generally accepted hazard mitigation practices and procedures are outlined in this section. Prior to engine start, the pilot needs to ensure that the ramp area surrounding the airplane is clear of persons, equipment, and other hazards that…

  Phase Motor There are various types of self-starting motors, known as split-phase motors. Such motors have a starting winding displaced 90 electrical degrees from the main or running winding. In some types, the starting winding has a fairly ... causes the current in this winding to be out of phase with the current in the running winding. This condition produces, in effect, a rotating field and the rotor revolves. A centrifugal switch disconnects the starting winding automatically after…
