DEFIs Training Mission [06] - Cold Start Routine (Day/Night) in the KA50 Black Shark 3

If you are a novice helicopter pilot like myself you need to memorize the cold start routine and all important cockpit controls and procedures. This training is intended to be repeated over and over to train you which switches to turn and in what order. You can practice at night or during the day. You can take off or taxi to the destination and the mission will finish.
