Automatically Start the Engine

To automatically start the engine, press and hold down the E key on your keyboard
until the engine starts.

The Propeller Control knob, the Mixture Control lever, the Throttle Control
lever, the Master Battery Switch (MSTR) control, the Engine Ignition &
Magnetos Switch control, and the Engine Start Switch control automatically move
to their proper positions.

After the engine starts, the Engine Start Switch control automatically moves to
the Off position.

To manually start the engine, follow these steps:
