September 19, 201312 yr Hi pilots, I have a question about starting APU : I tryied to start the APU with battery power online only, no ground power connection. Wonder myself that this way it won't start.. if you listen from outside u can ear the spool up whistle but suddenly it goes down and APU won't stat.. Tryied second attempt : i set up ground connection dual power but without putting online with the overhead switches.. (you can read two green switches telling "AVAIL") only connected but not activated ! In this case the APU starts without problems.. ISSUE or POCEDURE ? anyone knows it ? Thank you a lot !

September 19, 201312 yr Takes a while to start just like the real plane. Just sit back and wait it will start eventually. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - now Free Founder (FOF)
September 19, 201312 yr No need for a double post. Not an issue. I think that is more an Avsim "problem" because it is happening all the time lately. OT: It should just start while on battery power. Maybe your batteries were dead/drained Best regards, Stefan van Hierden
