Figure 5-13 are typical of those used to isolate malfunctions in small aircraft starting systems. Figure 5-12. Engine starter mounted on the engine. Gas Turbine Engine Starters Gas turbine engines are started by rotating the high-pressure compressor ... axial flow engines, the high-pressure compressor and N1 turbine system is only rotated by the starter. To start a gas turbine engine, it is necessary to accelerate the compressor to provide sufficient air to support combustion in the combustion…
