B787-9 engine start

Quote from Raptor1903

On my 787-9 Dreamliner, when starting both engines simultaneously, the aircraft loses power. This problem didn't exist on the 787-10.

Engines are not normally started simultaneously. Follow the tutorial and everything will work as intended. Merry Christmas and many wonderful gifts! 🎄🖖

My first thought was also that normally the engines are only started one after the other. But in the FCOM I also found this:

"The engines may be started at the same time. When doing simultaneous engine starts, delay the start of the second engine by a inimum of 5 seconds."

I've never seen that done before 🤷 Why would you want or need to start the motors simultaneously? Okay, it's possible with a 5S delay , but it's probably not how it's done.I don't think it's a priority in the simulation; cold and dark works fine.

This method is used even in real operations.

It's possible, but it's irrelevant to me personally.

But what's the need to start both motors simultaneously? I myself only start one motor at a time and have never had any problems doing so.

787 pilots always start both engines simultaneously to save time; the only restriction is if the temperature is above 40° Celsius.

787 can in fact start both engines at once. the GEnX and trent 1000 platform both allow for it

Incidentally, I just tried starting the engines on both B787s simultaneously, and it works without any problems on Android. They start up at the same time.

B787 can start two engines at the same time, and the 777 with optional PW engine can also start two engines at the same time.

I already wrote above that it works, but I personally don't do it that way.

This restriction only applies to Rolls Royce Trent engines; in aircraft equipped with GEnx 1b engines, this does not occur, and mutual starting can be performed without any time interval.
