All good, but after putting the throtle in cut off position for shutting off you miss to shitch off the generator shitch. Isn´t this what the manual says?
When you prepare to shutdown a turbine you want to switch the generator to the starter position, just in case there is a temperature spike after you cut the fuel. If the switch is still in the generator position, you are unable to motor the starter, resulting in over-temping the turbine.
you are good, can you do the same with a bell 206....
