407 Driver greetings
Information as requested abreviated.
I seem to recall that there was either someting about the start or shutdown with the 407 that could cause some problems if not followed correctly.
Lama Start procedure

2.Batt.on
3.Gen on
4.Boost pump on
5.Start switch on (up position)
6.Monitor start lights illumination and sequence
7.green light on
8.amber light on
9.amber light off

For the AS355N Fadec
1. 3 x Batt switches on(2xmain 1x direct)
2. Approx 10 secs computer self diagnostic check
3.select boost pump and gen for applicable engine
4.Start switch to FLT position monitor T4
5. step number 3 for second engine
6.The hardest thing about flying the 355N is staying awake.
I only ever had to abort one start in nearly 4 years due to a very srong tail wind on the number 2 engine.
Fly safe
