Start sequence on an Explorer?

From memory:

- Walk (never run - it frightens the bobbies) to aircraft, open door, switch battery master on.

- Put "cooker switch" for required engine to "IDLE"

- Climb in/ strap-in while watching the FADEC do its thing.

- Put second engine's cooker switch to "IDLE" - watch the IIDS as FADEC does it all.

- Do all the other role equipment checks, wait for second bobby to join you on board, switches to "FLIGHT" and you're ready.

Best engine start system I've ever used - beats the Arrius 135 with its weird FADEC switches any day.
