Grey Wolf Academy: Airbus A330 Enigine Start tutorial

[GlobeMasterLover]

Actually you should turn the APU on to get air/con into the cabin/flight deck and power up everything else. The battery pack is designed to power up just the avionics and not much more... Btw, if your goal was to show how to cranck the engines just with the APU, it's acceptable...

Very nice tutorial, helps a lot.

No you are right you dont have to use APU power at the beginning but you would at least use external power as a minimum. As more systems are turned on or initiated external power or apu becomes more important.

hm... u should turn on the APU way in the beginning...

[locdown120]

yes you can do it that way if you like but the airbus is different from what everybody is used to,APU is nothing but an Auxilary power unit.. in boeings,you get power in the cockpit by turning on batteries then the APU..but with the airbus, you dont necesarily "have" to put it on to be able to have power and program the FMC. its necesay for engine start tho..you have to be able to bleed the APU..as you saw in the video..it works...the decision is on the pilot.. turn it on in the beginning or not

[locdown120]

to sumarize that big chunk of writing into sumthing short..

The primary purpose of an aircraft APU is to provide power "to start the main engines". it has little to do with the other functions in an airbus

wow, thanks. you seem to know a lot about the airbus theory. hehe thanks for the info
