Eastern Airways Jetstream 41 doing an engine start at Southampton. Aircraft is G-MAJC and pushes back from the stand under its own power. One of my best videos! Sorry about the bit of camera shake on pushback, The propellers blew dust from the ground in my eye!

  • megusta este video super nitido

  • I have seen 727's DC-9's and MD-80's Push back on it's own Power but Not a Turboprop. That is amaizing

  • How'd you know that?

  • I want one of these for Christmas, In a previous like I used to clean these on a turnaround at Norwich.

  • holy engines! pt6?

  • geri manevra yapabiliyor ilginç

  • Just awesome!!! Reverse!!

  • @realvanman1 Generally, for this aircraft, yes. There is only a battery supply which is not a good idea to use all the time because you need it to program your avionics and cabin lights :P unfortunately, this aircraft does not have a APU so batteries are the primary power source. Again, though the avionics must be OFF for engine start regardless, they are on before engine start because your planning your route. Thus, its a much better idea to save the battery power for a rainy day!

  • Is an external power supply necessary to start the first engine? Then the first engine's generator is used to start the second engine? Do they not carry sufficient battery power for an engine start? I'm just guessing this since I saw a cable connected during the first start... Would love to know the details.

  • @Michael55443 yes. they can by reversing the proppelers and by a turbine engine aircraft they can do it with thrust reverser
