Turn on the FCU instrument.

Have FCU instrument always ON during the flight. Only a few moments is required from decision to start the engine to level flight or climbing.

The endurance of a FES system with a full charge and operating in level cruise (requires 4-5 kW of power) is approximately one hour (for sustainer).
