Awesome sound! Fenix air charter Cessna 402B start up and take off from SPA (July 25 2023)

Oh my aching starter-time limits! Loved flying ‘’The Deuce.”

Great start and I love to fly the 402s one day

[@careersteer6497]

A great book is "Fly the engine" by Kas Thomas. It has excellent engine start procedures that work brilliantly.

[@bernardanderson3758]

These engines get hot and yes they are difficult to start

[@bernardanderson3758]

Hot start procedures in the 402 full mixture and throttle levels back to idle position and fuel boost pump off

[@peidmontdivisionproduction5406]

Oh snap-

[@bernardanderson3758]

The 421 is another that’s difficult to start and I never liked the fuel ejection system .

[@larrymayberry2312]
