MD500 - How to Shutdown a Turbine

This video, although it isn't like having an instructor next to you while learning how to work a turbine, is designed to help give you an understanding of what the procedure is and what the gauges look like when an actual turbine is shut down.

@juanchocarrancho5001 I'm going to try to, but not sure when.

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?

[michaelmiller85]

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.
