This is where your channel makes a difference

[@sander8928]

I love it. You touch exactly those subjects which are a bit beyond normal operations but are actually quite interesting. Of course I'm also interested in a video about a full manual start :)

[@A330Driver]

Love to hear it! Coming up!

[@TeezyThaKidd]

make that two of us!

[@deanbavister]

Same here! Thanks Emmanuel, bloody brilliant & informative video again.

[@sgtmajbelanger]

I would love a manual engine start tutorial. Never know when you'll need it!

[@TypicalDutchSaysHi]

Full (Em)Manual Start? Yes. Like, do it! :)

[@GG_Booboo]

My go to channel for all things MSFS and aviation!

[@oliverunruh900]

Amazing video as always. No one else on KZbin is making such a specific videos on interesting topics

[@castellonista]

Great video Emmanuel, thanks for taking the time to explain all this. I’d love a video on manual engine start!

[@SimDeck]

Great stuff. Thank you.

[@Simonj110]

Manual Starts, Here we go! Will be interesting to see how it compares to the standard 737 system :)

[@nicozika]

very informative and educational video as always.. thanks for sharing.

[@AVIATIONSOUNDEXPERT]

I watched live how an engine was washed by using the crank mode. It was a GE CF-6 of a MD-11F, which was on a testbed. The engine just came from a repair and overhaul shop and had to be tested. It was mandatory to wash the engine so that the test results were as accurate as possible. The engine had to be washed prior of the test program. The test included idle thrust and maximum takeoff thrust for 5 minutes. After the test the engine had to be balanced by mounting certain screws at the hub where the nose cone is. The imbalance was measured during the testing.

[@RiverRaid82]

Thanks! Manual start video would be awesome

[@francescoleogrande1186]

Great video! Definitely interested about the full manual start. 🔝

[@dolf1010]

Thanx Emanuel , I ' ve learned something new and I'm also interested in the engine manuel start procedure.

[@mavi_izmir]

I want to thank you, especially for this video. Because I asked about this in one of your live streams. Thank you again for taking the time and effort to explain this subject. Like all your videos, it was very revealing and informative for me. Now everything is clear in my head about this function. I always wish you a blue sky.

[@A330Driver]

You’re welcome!

[@visvakrtram610]

Great stuff. Would love a video explaining the weight vs the centre of gravity diagram that we find in the weight and balance page in the efb.

[@richardwade6256]

I would find it very helpful to see a video on cross-bleed engine start.

[@pigeonpallz1733]

Thank you 😊

[@amirtavakoli2715]

Hello Emanuel, yes kindly make a manual engine start tutorial...thank you

[@ahmettaskn5687]

Once we have dry motored the engine of a 737 to cool the engine down because it was too hot to open the fan cowls. As you can imagine it is a huge cooling fan when it is not ignited.

[@aless6984]

Hi Emi, can you do a tutorial on how to read weather conditions in the OFP and decide about anti-ice etc... what's consider a weather to avoid, what's consider icing-conditions/turbulences/..., how to anticipate them etc etc etc thanks!

[@jenny02392]

I take it you need APU bleed for this ? or Ground air start cart! Great tutorials keep them going please.

[@mdhazeldine]

Are there any planes in the sim currently that simulator an engine tailpipe fire? Perhaps as part of a "failures" feature set? That would be quite cool. Then this procedure would actually be useful.

[@alex_paterson]

Great video, Emi! After an engine tailpipe fire, could normal operations continue immediately (provided the procedure is succesful and no extinguishers are needed), or would crew/engineer inspection be required?

[@Eli-uv4jy]

Afternoon Emanuel, really do enjoy your videos and would definitely be interested in seeing a full video/tutorial on manual starts etc Find these sort of educational videos you do really interesting! Keep up the good work :)

[@A330Driver]

Thank you! Coming up!

[@Eli-uv4jy]

Legend! Looking forward to it

[@Izmael1310]

Could you answer some real life aviation questions please? Basically generic aviation questions for airliner pilot? If you have some Q&A streams or can I ask just here? :)

[@TravisPrybylski]

Id love to see the manual start tutorial

[@Jannik_Stein]

The 787 to my knowledge uses an electric starter, can it still crank the engines for a longer time? Electric starters in smaller planes always have time restrictions in Ordner not to either overheat them or drain the battery. Or does the engine start in the 787 work with pneumatics but just driven by electricity like the packs?

[@michaelchenal5288]

I don't understand why this crank position exists as we can obtain the same effect with a manual start without putting fuel switch to on in the ign mode.

[@mohamedmetwally3478]

Do we use crank and manual engine start to cool down the engines in hot regions between flights?

[@jrfreeagent3179]

All of your work is received very well sir. Thank you. I am a better arm chair pilot because of you. There are quite a few buttons and functions I would like to know about. Please keep up with these 'extras' that you do to make us all understand the aircraft better.

[@steffieth]

I assume you would abort any departure attempt after any fire?

[@claudemiropacheco]

Thanks!

[@A330Driver]

Thank you so much!

[@vedymin1]

Hm..when dry cranking, i noticed that egt's not only didn't start falling but even lightly increased ? One would think that this mass of air being sucked in would make it all cool ? Or is it becouse of warm apu air that is being used to motor the engine ? Btw yes on the manual start vid :)

[@Noilburger]

I think this happenes when the engine has recently run. The temp probe is quite far back in the engine. When you start cranking it hot air from the core of the engine is pushed to the probe first, increasing the temperature. This is just latent heat because the engine recently ran. Soon after the temperature should start decreasing.

[@vedymin1]

@@Noilburger One way to check would be to load a c&d scenario and see if the probe would start reacting, from what i read, hot, high-pressure air is bled off from the APU's compressor and fed to an intermediate stage within the main engines to crank them ? That air would encounter that probe later ?

[@mystic_j2188]

How long you crank? (no tailpipe scenario)

[@anr.bru_spotter]

When you do an engine wash you crack the engine for 2 minutes in the A330 with the trent 700 engine don't know if it is the same on other planes or engine types
