Yes, this is often the case, depending on the type of aircraft you are using. Generally speaking, when you start a flight in a modern aircraft, the engine, avionics, and other systems will come to life in readiness for your flight.

Here are some of the steps you should consider when starting up your flight:

Ensure that the seating and controls are set up properly.
Check your instruments and avionics to make sure they are in working order.
Put on your headset and ensure that all communication systems are connected and functioning.
Turn on the engine and check the gauges to make sure all systems are in working order.
Check the weather forecast and adjust the settings of your aircraft accordingly.
Perform any pre-flight checks and calibrations that are necessary to ensure the aircraft is safe and ready to fly.

Remember that different aircraft have different systems and processes for pre-flight checks, so make sure you read your owner’s manual for full details.

Of course! Starting up a plane is a complex process but with the help of modern technology, it's now much simpler than it used to be. Here are the steps you need to take to successfully start up a flight:

Pre-start Check: Be sure to go through all the necessary pre-start checks such as checking the fuel, oil, and other related systems. It's also important to read through the checklists provided by the aircraft’s manufacturer.
Set Altimeter: Set the altimeter to the local barometric pressure, as the altimeter allows you to measure the altitude of your plane.
Gear and Flaps: Set your gear and flaps as required for the flight.
Check System Readiness: After setting the altimeter and gear/flaps, check the system readouts to make sure the plane is ready for start-up.
Start the Engine: Once the system readouts indicate the plane is ready, start the engine and the rest of the plane’s systems will automatically turn on.

Having said that, you should always go through a formal flight training program to become familiar with the specifics of starting up your plane. Here is a good link to a guide on how to start an aircraft engine:
