I have seen smoke coming from the engine on start-up also on United B744. Why do engine smoke on start-up ?

The smoke is the burn-off of residual fuel / oil -that's what I understood from an aircraft Engineer ..

Apparently different engines have different way to handle the residue - some let it accumulate on the side, some below .. Forgot which does good in what way though ...

Those two aircraft in the ramp are Air Mauritius A330 or A340 and Air India Express B737.

COLD Start, its usually happens when the aircraft is starting after resting in cold weather or usually a start up after an overnight layover.this is caused by partially burnet fuel. when the engine spools up the partially burnt fuel (white smoke) will push out from the tailpipe. this happens for few seconds until engine gains enough pressure and combustor get heatd up. Other than this you may see smoke from the engine oil breathers but its not obvious usually happens at intervals.

I suspect it is an Air Mauritius tail that interested me

I went spotting again today at Washington Reagan National Airport (KDCA). The afternoon is the busiest time, as most domestic flights to all different parts of the United States leave during that time. My friend and I both went and got some nice shots of planes departing from the park that is directly behind the main runway. Thanks to my fellow spotting friend Ahmed for going with me to snap pictures. Here is what we got:

Delta Airlines Boeing 737-800 (SkyTeam Livery)

US Airways Embraer 170

JetBlue Embraer 190

US Airways Airbus A319

American Airlines Boeing 737-800
