The APU may be operated with APU bleed only up to a maximum altitude of
17,000ft
Maximum continuous EGT for Garrett APU operation is?
710 degrees C
The APU LOW OIL PRESSURE light is
Disarmed when the APU switch is in the OFF position.
The APU will automatically shut-down
When the battery switch is placed OFF on the ground only.
The overspeed light will illuminate when a start is aborted prior to the APU reaching normal operating speed and
Will extinguish when the APU switch is placed to START again.
Should the APU switch fail to shut-off the APU
Pull up the APU Fire Warning Switch.
If the APU runs down due to fuel starvation, the Master Caution annunciation system will show
APU and services being operated by the APU.
The APU fire warning system gives aural and visual warnings
In the flight deck and main wheel well.
During a normal APU start
The amber LOW OIL PRESSURE light is lluminated until the APU oil pressure is normal (approx. 35% RPM).
The APU fuel heater
Is automatically operated and uses the APU compressor bleed air.
If an APU fire warning is sensed
The APU will shut-down automatically.
The Garrett and Sundstrand APU generators are rated at:
45 KVA's in-flight and 55KVA's on the ground.
How is the APU switched onto the AC electrical system?
By two APU switches individually operated.
Which of the following statements is correct? (737 - 1-500)
The APU can power Generator Bus 1 with ground power connected to Generator Bus 2.
Maximum start EGT for Garrett APU operation is?
760 degrees C
The maximum aircraft altitude for both APU bleed and electrical load is?
10,000ft
The maximum aircraft altitude for APU electrical load is?
35,000ft Garrett; 37,000ft Sundstrand; 41,000 Allied Signal.
When does the APU fuel solenoid valve open?
When oil pressure has reached 4psi.
The APU Electrical Generator and APU Oil Cooler are cooled by
A gear driven fan.
With an APU aborted start on the ground, another start may be attempted
immediately
But 5 minutes cooling is required between the second and third attempt and a wait of one hour is required after the third start attempt.
If the APU generator is providing electrical power to the aircraft while on the ground,
The galley electrical loads will automatically be shed if the total electrical power requirements exceed design limits.
Illumination of the APU DET INOP light
Activates master caution "OVHT/DET".
APU bleed air
Is not allowed to be used for wing anti-ice.
The APU oil LOW QUANTITY light
Is only armed when the APU start switch is out of OFF.
If an APU fire warning is sensed
The APU will shut-down automatically.
The Garrett and Sundstrand APU generators are rated at:
55 KVA's either in-flight or on the ground.

The APU LOW OIL PRESSURE light is
Disarmed when the APU switch is in the OFF position.
Maximum continuous EGT for Garrett APU operation is?
710 degrees C
If the APU runs down due to fuel starvation, the Master Caution annunciation system will show
APU and services being operated by the APU.
The APU is inadvertently left powering both GEN buses. At lift off, the APU will continue to power both buses until one side is depowered.
True.
Can the APU get fuel without any AC power?
Yes via suction feeding.
During a normal APU start, the APU Low Oil Press light should be out.
False.
Which of the following is a desirable APU start sequence?
Batt switch ON; Aft #1 fuel pump ON; Fire check DONE; APU bleed OFF.
Which of the following will cause the APU overspeed light to illuminate?
Turbine overspeed.
Aborted start.
Self-test failure detected.
Prior to starting the APU, you notice that the APU over speed light is ON. Which of the following is FALSE?
Do not attempt to start the APU.
When does the APU fuel solenoid valve open?
When oil pressure has reached 4psi.
Can you power both GEN buses with the APU while in flight?
Yes if the APU is inadvertently left powering both GEN buses prior to lift off.
The APU Electrical Generator and APU Oil Cooler are cooled by
A gear driven fan.
What are the APU start limits?
3 starts with 1 minute rest in between; 5 minute rest after 3rd try.
The APU is running. Which of the following will cause an automatic shutdown of the APU?
Low oil pressure, fault, or overspeed.
Fire warning.
APU exceeds preset EGT limits.
Will the APU shut down if you turn off the Battery switch (Aircraft on the ground)?
Yes
The reason the APU shuts down when the battery switch is turned off (on the ground) is because you lose fire protection capability.
False. You loose detection.
What happens when you get an APU fire warning?
APU fuel valve closes; APU bleed valve closes; APU inlet door closes; APU fire bottle is armed; Field Relay is opened.
The APU oil LOW QUANTITY light
Is only armed when the APU start switch is out of OFF.
APU bleed air
Is not allowed to be used for wing anti-ice.
Illumination of the APU DET INOP light
Activates master caution "OVHT/DET".
If the APU generator is providing electrical power to the aircraft while on the ground,
The galley electrical loads will automatically be shed if the total electrical power requirements exceed design limits.
Prior to starting the APU, the OVERSPEED light is ON. You start the APU. What caused the OVERSPEED light to illuminate?
If you shut down the APU after it reaches full speed and the OVERSPEED light comes on again, then you had a legitimate APU fault.
If you shut down the APU after it reaches full speed and the light stays off, you had an aborted start.
