- KingAir 200 Startup procedure followed by runup. This is for KingAir 200 model prior to B200 electrical system. This is a 1980 KingAir 200. This video is for familiarization of procedures. Any constructive comments or questions are welcome. Sorry there is only one video angle.
Nice to see a full run up with good narrative.
In the process of doing my kingair training. Nice vid! Super helpful
Glad it was helpful! I made this video to help our pilots get acquainted with the start/run-up procedure. Good luck in your training and remember to have fun. Fly safe!
Really insightful, thanks so much and would love to see more
Great tutorial; I'm starting in the 90 & 200 and this explains a few things I can't see from the right seat.
I‘m looking a while for such a video. Well explained. Hugh thanks
Thanks Uwe, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I plan on making a new one with better camera angles in the near future.
Nice Tutotial. Great! Thanks for the time.
Very good! Congrats !
Excellent video, thanks for posting it.
I'm glad you liked it. I hope to improve this video in the future, but I am humbled by your comment.
Thanks J C
Excellent video, J C. I just finished training in the B200 (later model) and used this video to help me get acquainted with the run up checks before heading to training. During the autofeather check, isn't the final test to bring both power levers to idle with the switch in Test to ensure that neither propeller feathers?
Exercising the propeller levers is a procedure I haven't done or been told to do on the PT6A, but I'm curious as to why you do it. When I saw you do it, it reminded me that I haven't really exercised the prop levers on anything except the few constant speed piston birds I fly. I love learning new things, so don't hold back (if you happen to see this comment nearly four years after you published this video)!
Excelent video... I am sorry for my poor english but i have a question mr.
Why you used the engine 2 generator in the ON position before the number 1 engine is completely start up?
The BE20 check list says after to start up the engine number two, the GEN number 2 is in ON position and after in OFF position, this is necesary to start up the engine number two and finally the generators on line would be in ON position after start up the two engines.
I will apreciate your opinnion about this.
Regards from Venezuela.
In my training and my mechanics opinion, once the #1 starter is turned off after 50% N1, there is no additional load on the system. It is safe to turn on #2 GEN while the Left Engine spools up. Once stabilized, I place the Left Eng GEN ON. I hope that helps.
I dont bealive that is a procedure, also you should have your beacon on before starting engines
No current limiter checks? No testing flow packs separately on the pressurization check? I haven't flown an older model 200 like that though, are the procedures a bit different? I know those older ones don't have GCU's which is why you initiate the second start on the battery to prevent blowing a current limiter. Blown current limiters are easily masked unless you check at the proper times. A bad current limiter can kill you in certain circumstances. I know of one accident in an older 200 like that where the pilot lost one engine and the opposite side had a blown current limiter. Among all the lights he had he failed to see the inverter light and he followed the dying gyro right into the ground.
Hi Banshee365, you're absolutely correct. A bad current limiter is a big deal. In this model, the limiter is checked only during the preflight check as item #36 per the AFM. I did not show the preflight check in this video but a very good comment and observation. As far as the separate flow checks, they were performed in this video around 9:10 mark. You sure know your KingAirs. I really appreciate your comments.
I fly a B200 for a living. I haven't flown an older model 200 like that. They don't want you checking the current limiters after each start? That's usually when one will blow (an engine start.) As far as the flow packs I was more referring to the cabin pressure test with separate flow packs. If you have a weak or bad flow pack the airplane will pressurize fine with both engines but it's really only off one side.
The two KingAirs I own are 1980 models. Per the checklist, the inverters are checked after both engines are started. And, the packs are not checked individually for pressurization. I'm not sure what model your flying but they may have changed the checklist for later models. The purpose of this video was to have some familiarization for the pilots I hire to fly this particular model. You mention some great techniques which we later incorporate into our training at a later time. Thanks again for your input. It is appreciated.
@@Banshee365How is the current limiter check carried out? What is the process?
Bad camera placement. All the action and dials take less than a quarter of screen. Shot the video again please.
