Abstract:
Systems and methods for starting an engine on an aircraft are provided. One example aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a method for starting an engine using an integrated starter. The integrated starter includes a starter air valve and an air turbine starter. The method includes receiving one or more signals indicative of one or more parameters.
