Just wanted to pass this link along incase others found it useful. When I first started in the sim I was looking for a 152 checklist I could print as I wanted to learn the procedures and the built in was lacking.
I just had a quick look at the Caravan startup, and I’m not sure this is right:
Startup Checklist
Engine and Propeller Area CLEAR
Throttle IDLE
Fuel Cond. Lever FULL
Fuel Flow ON
Fuel Boost Pump ON
Start Switch START (repeatedly until engine starts)
Oil Pressure CHECK
Generator ON
Loadmeter+Voltmeter CHECK for CHARGE
Fuel Boost Pump OFF
Annunciator Lights EXTINGUISHED
Shouldn’t the condition lever still be at cut-off, and you watch the NG rise to around 12-13%, then advance the condition lever to low idle? Perhaps I’ve been doing it wrong.
This seems to concur, though there are other issues such as it mentioning turning on the avionics afterwards, which you can’t in the MSFS one as you need the MFD on so you can monitor the engine.
Engine Start (Battery)
Battery: On
Volt/ammeter: Check (24 V minimum)
Emergency power lever: Normal (annunciator)
Propeller area: Clear
Fuel boost: On
AUX FUEL PUMP ON: Check On
FUEL PRESS LOW: Check Off
Fuel flow: Check none
Starter switch: Start
IGNITION ON: Check on
Engine oil pressure: Check
Ng > 12%, stable: Wait
Fuel condition lever: Low idle
Fuel flow: 80 to 110 lb/hr
ITT: (1090°C, max. 2 s)
Ng > 52%: Check
Starter switch: Off
STARTER ENERGISED: Check Off
Inverter: Test, select 1 or 2
Engine instruments: Check
Generator: Charging, GEN OFF extinguished
Fuel boost: Normal, AUX FUEL PUMP extinguished
Standby power: On
Avionics 1 & 2: On
Nav lights, beacon: On as required
Suction gauge: Check
Heating, ventilation, defrost: As required
Radios: As required
There could be slight modifications between individual aircraft even of the same type and also differences between carriers preferred start up procedures. Both checklists are probably right somewhere.
