Tigerpic. .To answer your question I am assuming you are starting an Allison:. .1. Battery flat or weak = a) just get to 12 / 13% this will mean you will get a light off and will have to watch the 927 degree limit. More likely due to a knackered battery turning the engine as well as heavy 206 blades you will exceed the 10 second limitation. Remember there is the second stage accleration around 52% on start up. I have found on a 206 that if the battery struggles to get to 12 / 13 % you are going to have to watch things pretty closely.. .2. Starting with throttle open is careless and asking for a hot start, unless you act very quickly you will have molten metal.
3. Most other start up problems are mechanical not pilot induced <img src="wink.gif" border="0">
