Flex Jet - Embraer Legacy 500 – Engine Start, Taxi, and Takeoff

It’s a cold and windy November afternoon as “FlexJet 404” starts engines and departs Rocky Mountain Metro Airport (KBJC) near Denver, CO. The flight today is a 1 hour hop to Salt Lake City Intl (KSLC). The cooler weather engine start results in a little bit of smoke as the engines light off.

Here’s a video of another FlexJet EMB-550 from earlier in 2016 being de-iced and preparing for departure.    • Flex Jet - Embraer Legacy 500 - Start...
