There’s some debate on whether avionics should be on during engine start. The concern seems to be voltage transients due to engaging and disengaging large solenoids and the starter motor. I captured this at ~40kHz and don’t see any potentially dangerous transients in this nominal engine start.
I suspect the dips until 1 second are due to higher torque during the compression strokes before engine started running. I continued to hold the start button until ~2.5 seconds. You can see some periodic noise that I believe is due to the secondary ignition coils charging.
