APU problems

Featured Replies

HiI was using this aircraft for the second time and attempting a cold start.When I start the APU, the EGT rises to peak at about 7 then drops back to 4 and stays there. If I try to turn it off, it remains at 4. This doesn't seem correct.Does anyone have any comment about that?Also, what is the best way to cold start this aircraft? I just switched everyhting off then saved the panel state, and it's this that I'm loading now when I start it although the battery is always on for some reason.CheersJason

Did it remain at 400c beyond 1 minute? The APU goes through a 1 minute cool down after the switch is selected to off, then should drop to 0.

Sounds like a normal start up cycle to me ;-)

The APU when turned off needs a minute for the cold down sequence.Wait a minute, then it will shut down, wait few seconds and you are able to turn off the battery.
