What is the typical trijet start sequence?  I know that twins typically start engine two, then one (right, then left), at least in my experience.  Do trijets usually start the right or center engine first?

Tu-154 goes from left to right...

Yup. Usually they shutdown number 2 after landings and just taxi on 1 and 3's engine power.

Thanks.  I'm specifically talking about the falcon business jets (the 50 and 900 series)  but I imagine it's the same kind of thing.  thanks guys.

A company's MD11 procedure:
3-1-2

Then during taxing from landing, turn on APU, and shortly after you may take no2 offline.
