KingAir 200 Engine Starting Question
Just began flying BE20's recently after leaving previous job. Got a Q on starting....
Serials BB1401 and BB1436....
As far as starting the engines (normal batt start, no GPU), as I understand it, after you do a normal start on the Right Hand engine, you turn the Right Gen ON, wait for load to decrease. (there are more steps I know, but im shortening the steps to make it easier to read).
Then you turn the RH Gen OFF, and then proceed to start the Left Engine.
Is the reason you switch the RH Gen off because you dont want the initial start draw for the LH Engine to come off the RH Gen and blow a current limiter? Correct or incorrect?
I ask because in my official Raytheon/Beech manual, for a normal Batt start, in the normal procedures, they DONT have you turn off the RH Gen, but just leave it on during the start of the LH Engine....?....
Any insight appreciated.
