Starting a Garrett turboprop engine

Mmmmmmm- I love the smell of kerosene exhaust. I'll bet is smells good right where the cameraman is standing!

That's awesome. I can see all phases of the start sequence just by looking at the flame. From fuel enrichment and igniters at 10%Ng, to light off at 10-15% Ng, to the fuel modulation keeping temps under start limit, to the secondary nozzles coming on at 60% Ng. Cool vid. Is that a Merlin?

Thats the second video of a Garret start up where the flame dies out as it powers up, I don't understand?

@MrPlanedrawer the flame isn't dying out, its being used more efficiently. Its known as complete combustion.
