Overview

The TCW SmartStart is an electronic control module that controls the operation of the engine starter system via standard aviation starter contactors and provides simple integration of the control stick switch or panel mounted start switches. SmartStart improves the safety and security of push-button or key-switch starting systems by providing an interlocked and time limited operation of the engine starter. The SmartStart system helps avoid unintentional activation of the engine starting system.

SmartStart also includes an armed LED that indicates when the engine may be started. The SmartStart system is available with an optional airspeed switch that ensures in-flight restarting of the engine, which may be accomplished at any time without the need to press the arming button.
