GLF550 by AKD Cold Start Tutorial

[@user-fz3ch6ij5k]

Seems like a very nice aircraft and thank you for this very informative tutorial video. I tried to follow the instructions step by step but quickly ran into a problem where I could not get the ''Ready'' sign for the APU and could not start it and further continue the process. IS ther anything I should have done before hand when trying to start the aircaft??

In an update after I made my tutorial, it was added that you have to have the left main fuel pump on before APU start, try that.

[@demetrii97]

Great video! When starting engines there’s no need to turn off any packs unless the APU air is less than 40 psi. When turning the start master on, it turns off the right pack automatically and when starting an engine, the other pack turns off. Saves you some time. Also, the engine bleeds on the G550 (while engines are off and on) can always stay on, unlike the GV and older models.

[@finthepilot4678]

Thanks for the info!

Nice job on your presentation. It's to the point and paced well. It's nice to take a model up and make sure you are likely to bond with it before you slog through a deep dive of the systems.

[@finthepilot4678]

Thank you very much!

[@constantinenikitin5397]

Nicely done - very detailed!

[@finthepilot4678]

Thanks buddy

This inspires me to record my Triton Simulation G550 for FSX. Sadly the company no longer exists. Great video.

[@4005Player]

Thanks for this video, and the link to the house liveries. Great job!

[@finthepilot4678]

Thank you!

[@enjoyingvirtualflight8984]

Thank you for your tutorial video. Could you mind ask one more startup tutorial again for GLF550 v2.07 with MOUSE CURSOR? 😅

[@finthepilot4678]

Absolutely. I thought I had the cursor on, but obviously I didn't. New video will be on the way shortly.

Please note that in the current update (as of me posting this comment), you are required to turn the left main fuel pump on before starting the APU.

I am having an issue where the irs would never align even though it is set to instant on the tablet. Any help?

[@finthepilot4678]

Make sure you're loading the FMS position on the "position init" page

[@Medeiros_Edilson]

Hi, where is de Autotrottle engage and disengage ?

[@finthepilot4678]

It's a clickspot over the mode control panel. Click the top left screw of the MCP. The Bottom left screw is the TOGA clickspot.

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

Pretty cool video. But as pilot with 4000 hrs on the 550, a lot of the things are done incorrectly.

[@gf4503]

Dude,emergency power on ,then du1,then apu fire test ,then master,start,

[@finthepilot4678]

Thanks for the addition.

[@tlouie32]

Not to get too technical but a proper APU start per AFM is as follows: Emer power on, l/r main batts on, wait until power up test is complete, main batt volts check 22v min, du 1-4 norm, APU fire test, mfd display switching norm, APU air off, nav light on, l main boost on, APU master on, APU rdy light illuminated, APU start press. @100% rpm APU gen on, emer power arm, 90 seconds - APU air on. 😉

[@allansankey]

DIdn't you have to perform a fire test before firing the APU?

[@finthepilot4678]

Yes, That's correct. I guess I forgot in the video. New video has updated procedures.

[@allansankey]

@@finthepilot4678 Nice! Great video anyway

[@Gambler1-1]

For me the APU never says ready but idk

[@finthepilot4678]

Make sure you have a main fuel pump on, I usually use the left. Once that’s on, make sure the master switch says on and then wait for the ready light.

[@rodrigoluna1851]

Is there anyway to install this addon in MFS2020?

[@finthepilot4678]

No, it's xplane 11/12 only

[@manubrm_]

Nice one ! Thanks😁

[@finthepilot4678]

Thanks!

[@scottcollins3187]

forgot the apu fire test...it's important.

[@nickyboi7964]

Recording a tutorial where you can't see the mouse so no clue what he's clicking lol

[@finthepilot4678]
