Different procedures are used in real world operations. The following explanations are therefore only exemplary.

### Realistic Operation Mode <a href="#realistic-operation-mode" id="realistic-operation-mode"></a>

The realistic mode requires a certain understanding of the Rotax engine and appropriate training. Otherwise, the engines can not be started and will be damaged in the worst case. Please read the [Section 3 - Normal Procedures](https://1668822846-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F8qtii6qPDxdUXovQ9XmA%2Fuploads%2FjS7m2FnHwE7h6u3QulG5%2Ftecnam%20p2006t%20section%203?alt=media) carefully. Summary: You need to rotate each prop until you hear the bubbling noise from the oil resevoir twice.

We created a quick [startup video](https://youtu.be/U9OLCjmshKM) as a guidance.

**Fuel Pressure**

*The lower the fuel pressure, the lower the chance of a successful engine start.*

If you shut down the engine and turn off the fuel pump there is a high chance of a good restart without fuel pump because there is still enough pressure available. Pressure will drop quickly though.

**Engine Temperature**

*The lower the engine temperature, the lower the chance of a successful engine start.*

If you load the flight at a cold day, you will need more prop rotations for the oil distribution. Additionally, the engine will start quicker, if it's still warm from a previous operation. The engine temperature will drop depending on the outside temperature difference.

**Choke**

Using the choke to pump in additional fuel is recommended when starting from cold & dark. If you restart the engine it might not be necessary because the fuel pressure is still high enough.

**Throttle**

Usually no throttle input is required. If the engine doesn't start up properly, you can try to add some power though.

**Please note**

Even under optimal conditions, the engine does not always start at the first attempt. You should not hold the starter for longer than 5 seconds to save the battery.
