S2 Ep3 shows the ground crew starting an Emirates 777 with an inop APU.
Narrator: "Luckily you can jump start a plane using an air starter truck."
The ground engineer provides a sensible overview of how this is done. The narrator then takes over and fills in the details.
"Hoses pump high pressure air into one of the engine's cylinders, forcing a piston downward. As the engine starts to turn fuel is injected into the cylinders, the engine is then up and running and the air is cut off."
Brilliant.

This show is entertainment, they make it sound like towing an aircraft from the terminal to maintenance like a unusual risky operation.
