GPU disconnect

Featured Replies

Hi Bryan,

 

i have just noticed that when i ask ground to disconnect the GPU it doesnt actually disconnect. It`s just turned off on the overhead panel but it stays on Avail.... meaning the GPU is still connected to the aircraft. At least it happens everytime when i use default Turn Around State.

 

I guess this isnt meant to be like that cause if i ask ground to disconnect GPU i expect them to remove it and not that they come into my cockpit and press the button on my overhead panel hehe

 

best regards

Manuel

well i had AES enabled "YES" on my other flights and  diasbaled "NO" on my current flight and it happened with both settings. On all flights i used the turn around state of the aircraft.

 

- I call ground to disconnect the APU

- After a while ground confirms it`s disconnected and the blue "ON" light on the overhead panel goes off

- However the green Avail is still visible on the overhead panel and if i ask for the before start procedure the F/O tells me that the GPU is still connected.

First of all, this is an amazing product.. thank you for that. And I noticed this incident too.. the ground power unit where you actually see it in the outside view is still connected..

Hi I noticed that it works correctly if you use the option with cart not visible. If you use the option with the cart visible it doesn't disconnect properly.
