@jbp3a Unless you don't like the person responsible for pulling the GPU

The reason ATP starts the left engine first is for standardization. If you needed ground power to start, the recepticle is on the right side of the nose so it makes sense to start the left side first.

The left engine on the older model seminoles has a high torque starter. The reason for this is bc for multi-engine flight training you have to shutdown/secure an engine in flight which usually is done on the critical engine(left). Since the seminole is a counter rotating twin it doesnt have a critical engine, nonetheless, the high torque starter was put on the left so that when it is feathered in flight it can be airstarted with the starter with the prop in the feathered position.

As I understand, the left engine has a stronger starter than the one on the right or something to that regard. It has to do with being a different model engine I think. On conventional multis you start the right one first because you can't really see it and can only hear if there are problems something you couldn't do if there was another one running. But that is all technicalities, you can start whichever one you want.

Of course, everything isn't as easy in a Seminole as it is on a Diamond. Damn Riddle kids, shoo, go away.

The Twin Stars are back at the Daytona Beach campus with the Lycoming IO-360 engine. They are not certified yet so I will be flying the Seminoles first, but they hope to have the transition to the DA42 start in mid-fall.

the mechanics at embry riddle are singing the hallelujah chorus now that the diamonds are gone. they had to work a lot harder to keep them flying, but that's not a pilot's problem- as long as the airplane is ready when it is time to fly. I've warmed up to the semin-hole since my last post; its not such a bad airplane, it's just not a diamond. the last twinstar that flew out of Riddle in daytona beach flew its fine booty all the way to canada without a fuel stop
