Caravan C208B engine start hot conditions
-
Hi all,
I got problems to get the turbine in the C208 analog running.
located somewhere in Iran with inside temperatures of about 70°C I'm not able to start the turbine.
External Power is supported
Fuel valves L/R ON
Avionics 1 ON
Conditioner CutOff
Ignition NORMAL
Starter START
Nothing happens.
Engine Condition is 100%, no failures active
Battery Power (chared by external Power) is good (26 Volts)
I tried any possible switch position and combination with external Power switch, Starter Switch, Ignition....
Double checked fuses...
Helpless at the moment -
Sorry you've having trouble. Does the aircraft start in cooler climates? I don't believe there is anything in the Caravan that should preclude a start in warmer temperatures. My only other thought is a hardware control binding that's interfering with fuel flow.
Please send me a video, if you can, that would be immensely helpful in diagnosing the problem.

Thank you for the reply.
I changed weather condition, so the temperature was reduced to about 20°C. Engine wont restart.
To solve this i reloaded the plane. I dont't think I can reproduce the failure. But I keep an eye on.
