Haughtney have no idea about our Airbus but this was our procedure with regard to NHP starting and shutting down on the Dash 8-300, ERJ145, RJ 100 and B777. On the B777 its pretty simple with autostart you just have to remember to toggle the switch then put fuel to run. Which yours truely has even forgotten to do. Gives you some idea why I am better off trying to operate modern aircraft. Hoping Boeing create something like those clap on clap off lights. Thats an idea for the 787 aye boys. Pleased to say its a beautiful day in Tauranga 22 degrees sunshine not a cloud in sight.
