Hi David. We start number 2 Engine first on the bay, and after about 15 seconds of spool up, we start the 'power pushing', as the hydraulic pumps are now working in order for us to steer, under the guidance of the fellow on the headset, controlling the power push unit.
It's not that busy during start up, as it's mostly automatic, and the Pilot Not Flying monitors the start, and the Pilot Flying the sector, controls the steering.
