Turbine starting and hot starts
I hope this is the right thread!
I was wondering if someone could explain to me how you start a turbine engine (eg the ever popular PT-6) and how (indeed IF) it differs from starting a turbo fan such as on 737.
Also I was recently talking to a Twotter pilot who said they leave the right engine running on short stops to help when hot starting the left engine, I have heard difficulties of hot starting a turbine engine but never really understood why? Also, if it is such a problem how come ryanair, easyjet, bmi etc dont seem to suffer this on their short turn arounds, or am I just being ignorant and its actualy a continual pain for them!
