So sitting on the tarmac with a cabin full of passengers that just boarded, you see the problem on the before taxi checklist - identify that the APU bleed air valve is stuck open. Do you pull it back in, or do you continue with the flight? Is this a judgement call... or addressed in some sort of SOP... or do you make a call to maintenance to do some sort of quick visual check... or is there some other check  you can do to verify that the back pressure check valve is functioning?

And isn't this so much fun from a simulator? Great job PMDG

You would do the QRH, call MX and go back to the gate. They'd do whatever it is in their checklists. Possibly MEL, if they could secure the APU BLEED VALVE.

 

It's outlined in the SOPs and not a judgement call. If you're at the gate, do X. If you're taxiing but not taken off, do Y. If you're airborne, do Z.

Excellent - thank you.

So in the NGX sim world - its basically identify the problem, taxi back to gate... put the plane into standby - reset the failure(hey those maintenance guys fixed it!) reset, then continue along, better late then never.

Cool learning experience, thanks for everyone's help.
