What does the AMAD do?

Explanation:
AMAD stands for Airframe Mounted Accessory Drive. Its primary job is to transmit power from the aircraft’s starting source (like the Jet Fuel Starter) to the engine, driving the engine’s start system and its accessories. This drive lets the engine spin up and brings along components such as generators and hydraulic pumps that the engine needs to come fully online. It does not supply fuel, it isn’t about aligning to structural mounts, and it doesn’t control the air intake. The engine starts by using power passed through the AMAD, and once the engine is running, the AMAD still powers the attached accessories.
