Hi fellas,
ground-power isn't neccessary to start the T-45.
This is what I do:
- Batt 1 ON
- Batt 2 ON
- Gen RESET
- Engine Switch to ON
(make sure your parking-brake is set)
- GTS* button PRESS for a couple of secondsand wait for light to come on (should be on after 20s and you should be abe to hear a faint noise)
- when GTS light is on => Engine Switch START
- RPM 15-20% => click on Throttle Fingerlift
- when engine at Idle => HYD 2 Reset Button PRESS
That should get you up to a running aircraft and you can now switch on the Comms, Lights, TACAN, and Avionics. You could switch on the avionics on Batt power, but I prefer not to put more load than necccessary onto the batteries.
