For autostart, the ignition switch should be placed in which position?

For autostart in the T-6B aircraft, the ignition switch should be placed in the NORM position. When the switch is in this position, it allows the ignition system to function normally, providing the necessary spark for engine ignition without requiring additional action from the pilot once the autostart sequence is initiated. This setup ensures that the engine can start automatically when the appropriate parameters are met, such as fuel and airflow being established.

While other options refer to the ignition switch's different positions, they do not facilitate autostart effectively. The Start position is used for manually starting the engine, and the Start detent is specifically for engaging the starter briefly. The On position does not indicate the appropriate setting for standard ignition during the autostart process. Hence, putting the ignition switch in the NORM position is crucial for a successful autostart procedure.
