How does the AMAD interface with the APU and the engine?

Explanation:
The starting interface uses pneumatic power. The AMAD acts as the drive that connects the engine to the APU’s Air Turbine Starter (ATS). Compressed air from the APU feeds the ATS, the ATS drives a shaft through the AMAD to turn the engine’s accessory drive, and that rotation starts the engine. It can also be used to motore the engine for maintenance or checks by applying air through the ATS to spin the engine without fuel ignition. This is why the correct description emphasizes the pneumatic connection to the APU via the ATS and the transmission of power from the ATS to the engine for starting or motoring.
