Electric from APU to GEN 1 or 2? F/O flow?

Featured Replies

Is it the Capt flow or F/O flow once going from APU power to GEN1 or GEN2 power to turn the switch? I noticed the f/o does it going from Ground power to APU but nothing after.

Sorry, the overhead AC panel switch and the DC panel switch. On the AC one, the f/o goes from GRD PWR to APU GEN but after engine start he does not go to GEN1 or GEN2 on the AC panel. He also leaves the DC switch BAT. Should it not got to TR1, 2 or 3?This is either with starting at EXT/AC or APU. Not that it matters because at the point I am talking about above is after pushback and after the f/o shuts down the APU and has put the aircraft on to the GEN Buses.

Hi Eric,DC switch is irrelvant, but I'll let Damien confirm that.FO should put the engine generators on the bus during his before taxi flow, which occurs after "both" engines have been started via FS2Crew.Trigger is a few seconds after the FO says "Starter Cutout" for the remaining engine.Are you skipping the built in FS2Crew engine start procedure?Is the FO otherwise performing his Before Taxi flows properly?

Yes, he is doing that. What he is not doing and I am not sure if it is his flow or mine, he is not putting the switch on the AC panel from APU GEN to GEN1 or GEN2. I am talking about the overhead panel that is above the bus switches.

Hi Eric,You (as captain) should check TR’s 1, 2 and 3 show positive amperage and Verify AC and DC voltage, frequency and load are within limits.
