- Performs the original starting process of the real plane. The four engines start one after the other with an interval of about five seconds each, then the engines switch to high speed and the aircraft starts to taxi, whereby the direction can be changed via a steering wire. In addition, a small light bulb lights up on the nose of the aircraft. After taxiing, the four motors switch off again one after the other and the process is repeated as long as the switch is set to "automatic"
