David will bash me mercilessly here, but here goes: I was one of the guys that simply did not trust auto start years ago. But the JetCat guys definitely got it right and it has been successfully done for too long by too many guys to argue. The crap about it being hard on the engine is just not represented by the facts. If the spool up algorithims are done properly and the engine's ass end is robustly designed for this environment, then auto start it shall be! Hard to argue with ten million successful JetCat flights. And lets not forget all of the TJT 3000s and PST 600s out there that are running perfectly too. Now if weight is really a critical issue, then I can see the desire for air auto start. But I don't think I want a powerplant/airframe combo that is so marginal that I have to worry about the starter motor weight!
