Sevier County Choppers was doing a 100hr, 300hr, and I think a 500hr inspection along with an annual on this Bell 206B3. After working on it they ran it up and did a visual inspection to make sure everything checked out.

That is one thing that I won't get tired of, the sound of a turbine starting.

  • 0:50 - What's making that "ticking" sound?

  • that is the sound of the igniter ticking, igniting the fuel in the burner can of the turbine engine

  • Woo! I love that turbine start up sound...Everything from the igniters to the ignition...The whine of turbine engines is just music.

  • @Quake120 Yeah, I agree completely, gotta love it! Combustion Chamber Music! Great!

  • you need a switch so you can turn your alarms off! but good vid!

  • Looked like fuel was introduced slightly before reaching 18%

  • @dyockey yes that is what i noticed he did hhmmm.

  • the sound of engine out audio and the another is agnation spark

  • Congratulations! This is the first one I´ve seen who follows the list and keep the caution breaker in, a lot of people pull it out since its sound it´s annoying, but it´s better to know it works properly.

  • Very high TOT, 800°/820°!!! Anyway, the Rolls Royce 250 series is a very good engine!!! Grettings from Argentina!!!

  • @dyockey Not quite. He didnt select idle thrust (first fuel detent). YOu would have heard the combustor light. What he did do was check the ToT and motored the engine, sucking in air to cool the combustor and lowering the TOT so that the subsequent start would be below the TOT limit.

  • Almost hot started it! Put the fuel in a bit early did he?
