With pax on board, it is not recommended to exceed 20 min without air conditioning supply.
APU BLEED USE WITH HP AIR START UNIT
The flight crew must not use bleed air from the APU BLEED and from the HP Air Start Unit at the same time, to prevent any adverse effect on the Bleed Air System.

Use of NAV mode after takeoff
NAV mode may be used after takeoff provided that:
‐ GPS PRIMARY is available, or
‐ The flight crew checked the FMGS takeoff updating.
Use of NAV mode in terminal area
NAV mode may be used in terminal area provided that:

DEFINITION OF SEVERE ICE ACCRETION
Ice accretion is considered severe when the ice accumulation on the airframe reaches approximately 5 mm (0.2 in) thick or more.
