Beechjet 400A Computer Training Systems (CTSys) Practice Test

In a false start, what is the first action you should take?

Move ignition switch to OFF. Move the thrust lever to CUTOFF. Motor the engine for 15 seconds. Press engine start disengage button.

Correct Answer:

Move the thrust lever to CUTOFF.

Explanation:

During a false start the immediate goal is to stop fuel flow and prevent the engine from accelerating further. The quickest and most effective way to do that on the Beechjet 400A is to move the thrust lever to CUTOFF. This action shuts off fuel to the engine, halting the start sequence and allowing the engine to decelerate safely. Turning the ignition off or pressing the engine start disengage button aren’t the primary steps to halt the start, and delaying fuel cutoff can allow the compressor to accelerate toward surge. After the fuel is cut, you would monitor engine indications and follow the SOP, potentially motoring the engine briefly if required to purge fuel, before attempting a restart.
