If the APU is available, start the APU. When you start the APU, you have a second source of electrical power. You can continue on to your destination.

 

If it is not available, then you divert. You only have one source of electrical power.

For your reference, the procedure is on page 114 of the PMDG-NGX-QRH.pdf

1. Search for the relevant failure in the QRH.

2. Execute the procedure.

3. There is no step 3.

 

 

1. Aviate.

2. Navigate.

3. Communicate: Open a topic on AVSIM!
