Are you permitted to use the APU if the LOW OIL LEVEL advisory is displayed on the 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: A logbook entry is not required after receiving this advisory message. Contact MCC to
determine the status of required maintenance action.
What is the APU starter duty cycle limits?
3 consecutive start attempts separated by a 1 minute cool down period. After third attempt, 60 minute cooling down period required.
