1.

APU operation requires the following:

o
APU fire switch on the overheat/fire panel must be IN
o
APU fire control handle on the APU ground control panel must be IN
o
Battery switch must be ON.
o
All of the above.
2. The APU Electronics Control Unit (ECU) provides:
o
Automatic shutdown protection for overspeed conditions, low oil
pressure and high oil temperature
o
Automatic shutdown protection for APU fire, fuel control unit failure and
EGT exceedance
o
Automatic control of APU speed through the electronic fuel unit
o
All of the above are correct.

On the ground or in the air
o
Never.
4. APU cooling air:

Enters through the ram air system
o
Enters through a cooling air inlet above the APU exhaust outlet
o
Is supplied by the air conditioning packs.
5. During APU operation, fuel is automatically heated to prevent icing:
o
True
o
False.
6. Moving the battery switch to OFF automatically shuts down the APU.
o
On the ground only
o
In the air only
o

8. It is recommennded to operate the APU for _____ before using it as a bleed air
source.
o
20 seconds
o
30 seconds
o
45 seconds.
o
1 full minute

This one minute stabilization is recommended to extend the service life of the
APU.
9. During the APU start cycle, the APU EGT indication may fluctuate from 0 to
1100 C prior to normal EGT rise and the LOW OIL PRESSURE light may cycle
on and off several times. These indications have no adverse effect on starting the
APU. It is not necessary to monitor EGT during start.
o
True
o
False.
10. Electrical power to start the APU comes from:
o
The battery bus or the DC ground power receptacle
o
Battery power or either AC transfer bus
o
Either the AC or DC standby bus
o
The No.1 Transfer bus if available. If AC power is not available, battery
power is used.
With AC power available, the starter generator uses AC power to start the APU.
With no AC power, the starter generator uses battery power to start the APU.
11. If the APU is the only source of electrical power:
o
In flight, the galley busses are automatically shed
o
In flight, the APU attempts to carry the full electrical load
o
On the ground, the galley busses are automatically shed
o
On the ground, the main busses are shed first if an overload condition is
sensed.
12. The APU switch OFF position has an automatic shutdown delay of:
o
30 seconds
o
60 seconds
o
120 seconds
o
135 seconds
13. The APU is capable of supplying bleed air for both air conditioning packs:
o
On the ground only
o
In the air only
o
On the ground or in the air
o
Never.
14. The APU may be used as an electrical and pneumatic source simultaneously up
to:
o
10 000 feet
o
17 000 feet
o
25 000 feet
o
30 000 feet
15. The APU start cycle may take up to:
o
60 seconds
o
120 seconds
o
135 seconds
o
3 minutes

Automatic shutdown occurs in the event of EGT exceedance.

16. The APU may be used as a pneumatic source up to:
o
10 000 feet
o
17 000 feet
o
25 000 feet
o
35 000 feet
17. THe APU will shutdown on the ground if:
o
The battery switch is placed to OFF
o
The LOW OIL QUANTITY / MAINT light illuminates
o
The fuel LOW PRESSURE lights in the main tank illuminate
o
All of the above are correct.
18. When the APU is started using battery power only, there is a normal indication on
the electrical metering panel that the APU generator has come on line and is ready
to be selected.
o
True
o
False.
When the APU is started using battery power only, there is a NO indication on the
electrical metering panel that the APU generator has come on line and is ready to
be selected. Both the frequency and voltage readings are zero until the APU
generator is placed on line.
19. If the APU GEN OFF BUS light fails to illuminate by the end of the start cycle:
o
The FAULT light illuminates
o
The MAINT light illuminates
o
The APU failed a self test and the OVERSPEED light will illuminate
o
There is no light associated wih this malfunction.
20. In flight, if the APU is the only source of electrical power, all galley busses are
automatically shed. If electrical load still exceeds design limits, both main busses
automatically shed until the load is within design limits. On the ground, the APU
attempts to carry a full electrical load. If an overload condition is sensed, the APU
sheds galley busses first, and then both main busses until the load is within limits.
o
True
o
False.
21. The APU OVERSPEED light illuminated indicates:
o
APU RPM limit has been exceeded resulting in an automatic shutdown
o
The overspeed shutdown protection feature has failed a self-test during a
normal APU shutdown.
o
The first two statements are correct.
o
None of the above
If light is illuminated when APU switch is placed to OFF, light extinguishes after
5 minutes (light is disarmed when the APU switch is in OFF position).

22. Of the four lights located on the APU control panel, which light will NOT cause
an automatic shutdown of the APU when it illuminates?
o
LOW OIL PRESSURE
o
FAULT
o
OVERSPEED
o
MAINT
23. The APU starts, operates and can supply electrical power alone up to:
o
41,000 feet
o
17,000 feet
o
25,000 feet
o

extinguisher and closes the bleed air valve, closes the fuel shutoff valve,
and the APU inlet door.
26. When the APU is started using battery power only, there is no indication on the
electrical metering panel that the APU generator has come on line and is ready to
be selected. Both the frequency and voltage readings are zero until the APU
generator is placed on line.
