Who starts the engines?
May be somebody could share expirence about your company SOPs - which pilot normally does PFI and starts the engines? Is it always captain or PF/PM? I work for bizjet company and we operate light jets, sometimes without FA, so everything should be done by ourselves, including pax boarding. There is conflicting information all around - if only PIC is allowed to start the engines, then who will meet passengers and vice versa? At my point it is not quite good to let passengers wait couple of minutes for captain to close the door, buckle himself into the seat and just then push start button. At least our passengers would send a complaint imediately for such behaviour - just because they are always in a hurry.. Thanks in advance
