Question 23

If the APU is off prior to arrival at flight deck what triggers leaving it off or turning it on?

Answer 23

Leave off if temp in all aircraft zones can be maintained no greater then 27 until ETD-15
If temp in any zone exceeds 27 disconnect ground air supply if applicable and start APU for air conditioning. This can also be done at pilot discretion below 27 if inadequate ventilation exists

Question 24

If you arrive at the aircraft with APU already on, can you turn off the air con packs and bleeds? When must they be turned back on?

Answer 24

Yes if aircraft temperature can be maintained not above 27 in all zones and leave off until ETD-15

What is the arrival APU management

Answer 25

Intent is to switch the APU off as soon as possible after arrival.
Request ground power be applied.
