Hung starts B206
Hi all,
Well the ol battery in the 206 has been a wee tad low on the charge thing recently. 1st start today 25c 2000ft amsl, very slow to spool up to 12% - crack fuel modulate flow to keep TOT in hand. Turbine lights off but still slow in building to the 58% start cut out.
After a 1 hr flight, no probs genny or elsewhere, shutdown for about 3hrs. Try a restart, lucky to get 12%, crack fuel, lights off but going nowhere. Look after TOT but no accelaration whatsoever N1, Abort start go home drink wine and post this.
Comments? Any tips out there (apart from the obvious, new batt or grd pwr for starters).
Any Ol hands with the low down on 206 starts (ceco fuel governor) please add your pearls of wisdom re starts and general do's don't you follow with this darlin'
Cheers & fly safe. .Hone
