What happens if you push the START button again after the start has been initiated?

• A. It shuts off electric fuel pumps and ignition and initiates a 20 second dry-motoring cycle
• B. It restarts the engine automatically
• C. It stops pumps but leaves ignition on
• D. It disables the FADEC

Answer: (A)

Aborting a start on the PC-12 NGX is accomplished by pressing START again. This action shuts off electric fuel pumps and ignition, stopping fuel flow and ignition to the engine. It then puts the starter into a 20-second dry motoring cycle—cranking without fuel—to purge the system, cool the starter, and set up for a safe reattempt. It isn’t an automatic restart, it doesn’t leave ignition on, and it doesn’t disable FADEC.
