Bonanaza B36TP wont start, not manually, not with autostart
-
Hello,
I purchased the pro bundle, can start all the planes except this one. I went through the EFB checklist, manual checklist and followed along youtube vid, i cant for the life of me start this plane. not even with auto start (ctrl+e). always did pre start and start checklist.
It comes down to this (japan 15 degrees ceclcius outside or 60 something other unit):
plan is in -> throttle idle, rpm prop full to incr, condition lever off, switches turbine engine all off- set battery on, check voltage 25v+
- ignition (grey one) auto then on as per before-starting-engine checklist)
- starter on ( yellow switch)
- wait till gas gen goes over 15%
- condition lever in on position
the next step would be starter of at 52% NG, but it never gets there. NG is at 18% then when it tries to start ITT goes to 4 the down again, while NG rises to 19.8% and back to 18.
CTRL+E doesnt even get this far, it only does step 1 then stops.
Anyone have an idea whats causing this? im at a loss, followed 3 sources for starting this plane.
Thank you in advance

This might sound silly, but have you checked the engine condition on the tablet's engine visualizer?

Not so silly when i saw engine condition 0%, what an oversight on my part! Thank you good sir for the fast respons.
Btw, I love your products. the black square baron is my favourite plane.

Wonderful! I'm glad it's working now! I have to preempt my simple suggestions sometimes, because I never know when my hunch might be right, or someone might be offended and think I am calling them stupid

Oh no worries. I got probapby tunnelvisioned into thinking it was the procedure since it was the first time using the plane that i didnt notice the engine condition. Did multiple runs with it now. Your professional bundle is a blast to fly!

Happy New Year!!
