Tpe331

[AV80R]

...I think the right term is shaft bow where you spin the prop to where the binding is strongest and let it cool down in that position...

That's it, I knew there was a better term for it.
As far a starting procedure?
Well,
push "Select"
push "Start" (For airstarts the “Start button will not illuminate, or was it the Select button?)
...I think that's about it? - Fully automated starts.
We had the TPE 331-12s on our birds. I can also vouch for the airplane's single engine performance - it's a really great engine!

The Pratt / Garrett argument is like the ford/chevy issue. I personally loved the Garrett on the metro, J31, and J41. yes it was a little noisy on the ground but it had a good fuel consumption, lasted long time, the NTS was a cool system and you could choose to fly at 97 or 100% prop speed, depending on how fast you wanted to get there.

Loved the Garretts on the MU2. Honeywell used run an annual TP seminar which was very good go to it if you can. I believe we had the 7000 hr extension. We used to also spin the props by hand a few turns after shutdown to enhance cooldown.
