Fuel burn is ~2000 lbs a side at .78. They’re quiet, almost like someone is vacuuming in the cabin. They take a long time to start...

gonna throw a tip out there, cuz a bunch of guys need to read this. Ya gotta wait until the fadecs calculate the cooling time before pushing the darn button. A flow doesnt have to be hurry up and push stuff. Wait a sec and read the upper. If after 5 or 10 seconds or so after turning the mode selector there is no time or only time on the #1, no need for dual cooling. Enough with the ding stuff.

For your health.

Pretty sure the dual cooling time will be displayed when you power up the Fadec’s on the overhead to do the preliminary preflight. That being your first indication that dual cooling will be a thing on start up.

That may be wrong, but that seems right.

The FADEC I use is embedded in the smooth noodle between my ears, but I think somebody made a vidjayo

Too cool for school

Duel cooling is for letting both engines motor simultaneously for preventing bowed rotor shiit yeah? Anyways press the button, wait for the shiit to display, thingy does the stuff, the end.

I just keep the dual cooling AOM page tabbed and read it every time I see the spinnybois pulling up

It reads something like “it’s gonna say ‘cooling’ but don’t hit the button until it says ‘cooling’” or something surprisingly hard to remember
