An automatic shut down override switchlight provides a means to override all APU ECU automatic shutdown signals except _________.
- A.
Over temperature
- B.
Low fuel inlet pressure
- C.
High oil temperature
- D.
Indicated fire or overspeed
Correct Answer
D. Indicated fire or overspeedExplanation
The automatic shut down override switchlight allows for the manual override of automatic shutdown signals from the APU ECU, except in the case of an indicated fire or overspeed. In these situations, it is crucial to immediately shut down the APU to prevent further damage or danger. The override switchlight provides a means to override other shutdown signals such as over temperature, low fuel inlet pressure, and high oil temperature, but it does not override the shutdown signals for fire or overspeed.Rate this question:

If the APU is started and the AVAIL light does not illuminate, the ____ must be cycled from ON to RESET to ON.
- A.
BATT switch
- B.
APU PWR switch
- C.
EMERG PWR switch
- D.
APU ALERT START switch
Correct Answer
B. APU PWR switchExplanation
If the APU is started and the AVAIL light does not illuminate, it indicates that there may be an issue with the APU power supply. To resolve this issue, the APU PWR switch must be cycled from ON to RESET to ON. This will reset the power supply and allow the AVAIL light to illuminate, indicating that the APU is now available for use.Rate this question:

If the Ground Operations Power source is the APU only, the battery switch must be in the ___ position.
- A.
APU
- B.
OFF
- C.
STND BY
- D.
ON
Correct Answer
D. ONExplanation
When the Ground Operations Power source is the APU only, the battery switch must be in the "ON" position. This is because the APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) is responsible for providing electrical power to the aircraft systems when the engines are not running. Therefore, the battery switch needs to be in the "ON" position to ensure that the APU can draw power from the battery when needed.Rate this question:
