Q

Are you permitted to start the APU during refueling? If a fuel spill occurs and the APU is running, what should you do?

A

During refuel/defuel procedures, APU starts or shutdown are permitted with the following restrictions:

  • If the APU failed to start or following an automatic APU shutdown, do not start the APU
  • If a fuel spill occurs, perform a normal APU shutdown.

Q

Are you permitted to use the APU if the LOW OIL LEVEL advisory is displayed on the ECAM? When is maintenance action required? Is a logbook entry required?

A

The APU may be started and operated even if the LOW OIL LEVEL ECAM advisory is displayed. Maintenance action is required within the next 10 hours of APU operation.

NOTE: A logbook entry is not required after receiving this advisory message. Contact MCC to determine the status of required maintenance action.
