I notice that in the checklist John Eacott posted that the prestart has "HYDRAULIC SYSTEM (Control boost ): off" and the engine shut down has
"CYCLIC & COLLECTIVE FRICTION: hydraulic switch off
BOOST PUMPS SWITCHES: off
TOT: stabilize for 2 minutes
CAUTION SWITCH: off
THROTTLE: close
TOT and N1: decreasing
FUEL VALVE: off
Not taking John to task at all for posting the site. It is, after all, not his checklist.
I have a few hours in 206s and I do not agree with starting / stopping with the hydraulics off. In fact I would say that except for testing the hydraulics should be on if the blades are turning.
Also why turn off the boost pumps before shutdown? Remember that the engine driven fuel pump is lubricated by fuel.
Have things changed since I flew 206s? It has been a while! I fly 212s and we start and stop with Hydraulics and boost pumps on.
Just curious.
