King Air B-100 Garrett Engines
Hey Folks,
I occasionally fly a B-100 with the TPE-331s. I have a few questions about the Manual Fuel / Ignition 3 position switch. Particularly the "MOM ON" position (armed for automatic ignition system). The POH doesn't seem to be that helpful.
Does anyone have any knowledge of this system?
Thanks.
Louis

TPE-331s have a momentary function of the fuel switch to enrichen the fuel flow to promote more rapid acceleration during start. I can't remember ever using it, but it was there. Funny things those TPE-331s, ran like a top or went up like a grenade, nothing in between.
