Answer 2

A320 NEO

3 starts with 60 sec intervals followed by 15 mins

Max Starter reengagement RPM 63% N2

A319/20/21 CEO

4 starts with 20 sec intervals followed by 15 mins

Max Starter reengagement RPM 20% N2

Note: All aircraft a standard start includes upto 3 attempts which equals one cycle

Question 3

What is the max altitude for an APU start using normal electrics? A=

What is the max altitude to use the APU to supply electrical power with one pack operating? B=

What is the max altitude to use the APU for an engine start? C=

What is the max altitude to use the APU to supply electrical power with both packs operating? D=

Answer 3

APU start using normal electrics 39.000 feet

One pack operation with electrics = 22,500 feet

For engine start = 20,000 feet

Two pack operation with electrics = 15,000 feet

Question 4

What is considered a narrow runway?

Answer 4

A narrow runway is any runway less than 148ft/45m wide.

Answer 5

Yes.

MX Action required within 10 hours of APU operation.

Logbook entry is NOT required but informing MX of the issue at the time of the incident is required.
