NATOPS1 Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Thanks Frank. I have a EC-130G/Q (1983 Change 4 '89) NATOPS but it is not what I'm looking for. It references Ext AC and or DC for preflight but not Battery only. The Scramble refers to an already preflighted AC... I'm looking for a checklist one would use to "preflight" with the Battery in order to start an engine. This would be in the case the ATM/ APU gen was inop, NO ext AC power. I know what I would check and I'm sure there are lots of ideas out there but looking for a "Published" checklist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEFEGeorge Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Not if I've ever seen such and animal. Maybe have but just don't remember. Without an AC source of power couldn't do much of a preflight., other than the visual, and whatever DC parts. No surer I've even check the inverters. Just get everything done up to starting engines. Inverteres ON during start, then OFF once an indication of start and engine rolling up. Seems odd not having any AC power for start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NATOPS1 Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 NO Ext power available and the GTC/APU No start or ATM/APU Gen not working... Can't imagine there is not a DC only or maybe even EXT DC Preflight. I agree... Bat on, Tie Bus, Fire test, Nacelle test, LE Overheat test, set up for start, inverter on and start...

munirabbasi Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Sir if your in remote area, A/C Battery is the only source is available for pre flight /post flight inspection All DC buses & inverter bus can be energised through battery for limited time, by using DC bus tie SW located OHECP. it batter to use the battery in isolated area only FOR operation of GTC/APU . rest of inspection can carried by ATM/APU generator Regards Munir Abbasi ATI Home of hercules center Pakistan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakes112 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 not to throw a snag into this but with EIDS now this becomes all the more interesting. If the volts fall below 21 you will lose the eng inst. better have your stuff together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMPTestFE Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I'd throw in a bleed down check immediately after the 1st eng gen is online....unless live rounds are inbound, then I get all four going & close bleeds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victorp1 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 The Lockheed Baseline FM 382C, Section 5 (Nonstandard Operations), has a procedure named "ENGINE STARTING WITHOUT AC ELECTRICAL POWER". This may help. Vic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NATOPS1 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Hey Vic can you send me that via email or message here? Winter sucks! Hows Tampa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donwon Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I may be old and full of crs, but how you gonna start without bleed air to turn the starters? Guess a group of people could stand in front of one of the engines and blow real hard so it could windmill. I have met some peeps that could do that all by themselvs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
