Are you permitted to use the APU if the LOW OIL ADVISORY is displayed ECAM? When is a maintenance action required? Is a logbook entry required?
The APU may be started and operated even if the LOW OIL LEVEL ECAM Advisory is displayed.
Maintenance action is required within the next 10 hours of APU operation.
Note: The logbook entry is not required after receiving this advisory message, “Contact MCC to determine the status of required maintenance action”.
