TPE-331 question

[uavchaser]

in what conditions do you garrett(TPE-331-10T) drivers out there manually turn on the ignitors?

 

[juventus]

don t know if understood your question but in a manual start is when we use the switch to ignite.

 

[juventus]

or maybe you were asking about anti ice ign on then we use that on heavy rain ice conditions.

all the above, plus standing water on the takeoff runway.

dont be afraid to use the anti-ice on the tpe-331. its a rotten nasty engine that does not fare well with any ice on its inlets.

If the TPE331 has NTS the only time you need to turn on the continious IGN/ignitors is while taxing thru standing water..

This is on the mighty J32.....

Comments?

Don't be shy about the ignition.

Standing water; heavy precip; ice on the inlets....
All good reasons.

Also:

--A nice slug of ice on the spinner when descending into warmer temps even if the inlet is clean.

--Moderate to severe turbulence can have the same effect on the burners as extinguishing a match with a quick flick of the wrist.

--Contaminated runways in general.

Fly safe.
