Temperature for Icing:
Minimum oil temperature required to ensure engine air inlet ice protection, prior to
take-off, is
55°C
Minimum oil temperature required to ensure engine air inlet ice protection, in flight
and within 3 minutes of setting take-off power, is
65°C
NOTE: To maintain the minimum oil temperature of 65°C during descent,
holding and approach, in icing conditions, it may be necessary to increase
power. The increase in engine power will be limited by the allowable
maximum airspeed appropriate to VMO, VLO, VFE, aircraft system
malfunctions, turbulence and ATC instructions.
APU Limitations
- APU is approved for GROUND OPERATIONS ONLY.
- APU must be shutdown prior to take-off.
- APU must not be operated unattended with passengers onboard.
- APU must not be operated unattended during pressure refuelling.
- APU must not be operated during gravity refuelling.
- APU ambient temperature (lower) -35°C APU ambient temperature (upper) +50°C or ISA +35°C, whichever is lower.
NOTE: With APU inlet louvres installed, APU operation is limited to +21°C maximum ambient temperature.
APU Starter Cranking Limits
NOTE: If the APU does not start in the third attempt, maintenance action is
required.
