GENERAL
GENERAL
Starting of the Pratt and Whitney engines is provided by a

DC starter/generator.
The system is controlled from the flight compartment

overhead panel.
The main components of the system are :
- The starter/generator (1PU/2PU) (Ref. Chapter 24)
- Start contactor (1KG/2KG)
- Battery contactor (3KG)
- ENG START selector switch (13KG)
- START 1 (2) pushbutton switch (5KG/6KG).
