The"push" is what engages the starter Bendix. I flew a 1972 Cherokee Six
with that type of switch. I didn't like it.

Our '74 Pathfinder has that kind of starter key switch. What's not to
like?
Turn, push, start. It's simple, and it works.

When it is the only airplane with that type of switch in a fleet of 16
flying club aircraft, it makes you scratch your head, squint your eyes
and purse you lips for a moment before you remember why nothing happens
when you turn the key.
