Engine Start Sequence Tutorial 7

I love your videos! Quick question: when starting an engine, the knob is turned to GND. Why is the label “GND” used? Wouldn’t “START” make more sense? What does GND actually stand for? Thanks.

Hi there. Glad you like the videos. GND is Ground. No idea why they called it that, I agree Start would make more sense. I often think the same for CONT for the CONTROL CABIN for the air conditioning panel in the flight deck. Why not call it FCC as it’s called the Flight Crew Compartment.
