The blades can turn at 14 percent N1 which is 14 percent speed of the first stage compressor. The air being blown across the turbine blades in the power section is enough to turn the blades. The compressor and turbine stages are only linked by the gas stream. If you turn theblades backwards you will hear the turbines turning but the compressor blades will not be moving. If you tuirn the compressor blades the turbines blades do not move. It needs a gas stream to turn the turbine

WOAH!!! Look at that EGT jump during light off O____o. Out of curiosity, during the spool up, does the rotor start to turn with the starter? Is the power transmission connected to a seperate turbine stage or is their some type of centrifugal clutch or fluid coupling in the gearbox?

nice starton jetranger are automatic starts they are a little less complicated than a longranger, nice vid

[buzzburling]

Actually prefer the long ranger start as you have more control of the temp. The Jet ranger can get very hot very quickly and has to be watched closely. The long ranger can be started quite cool and built up. Love em both but the Long ranger just edges it!

Thanks for the nice comment though! :-)

that looks like quite a number of gauges to be looking at while flying

[buzzburling]

Hard at first but gets easier with practice!

I just love the sound of a jet engine firing up.

I remember from my Jetranger experience ride, what my instructor told me "you will keep your finger glued to the starter, if the temperature goes up too far, cut the fuel, but keep bloody cranking"

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooooo

Press the starter and at 15% N1 crack the throttle. Monitor the Temps and at 52% N1 release the starter button. Pretty simple start procedure. Temps can rise quickly so monitor and always be ready to shut the fuel off and crank to starter limits if hot start.

nice video, - thank you

[fishboard123]

Is the RPM gauge really that important? I mean do you have to always look at it?

(cont'd) that bird was magical and made dreams come true! I flew him from the mid-70's to the late 80's, when the back-up pilot hit wires and rolled her up into a broken ball. I wept when I heard the news. He had been my child, my dreams, my four-four-two.

Beethoven never penned music so sweet as the sounds of a Ranger turbine start-up!

This takes me waayyyy back to some wonderful times and a maroon and yellow bird tail named November-five-niner-four-four-­two. Not many women were flying back then, but (cont'd)

greg, your numbers all come out of the POH somewhere but you have them all jumbled around where they dont make any sense. You might know what you are saying but it didn't come out right here.
