Fire it up: TBM 930 engine start & beta range taxiing

Master the TBM 930 in Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) as we Fire it Up! This TBM 930 tutorial covers the Pratt & Whitney PT6 engine start sequence, "Cold and Dark" procedures, and taxiing techniques for beginners. Welcome to Part 3 of our series! We’re diving deep into this high-performance turboprop to show you exactly how to wake the beast without causing a "hot start."
In this episode, we break down the essentials: performing a proper Pre-Start Flow, managing the ITT (Interstage Turbine Temperature) during ignition, and mastering the Art of Beta for smooth taxiing. We’re also getting hands-on with the overhead panel, fuel systems, and engine indication systems (EIS) to ensure your aircraft is healthy and ready for the runway.

Stay tuned until the end for a "nice-to-know" pro tip regarding the Inertial Separator!
