When selected on, the APU START push button will: Connect the APU generator to the aircraft electrical system, start the APU if the APU MASTER SW was previously selected ON, and open the air intake flap and supply fuel pressure. The APU has an integral independent lubrication system for lubrication and cooling. True or False? Before the APU starter is energized, the APU bleed switch must be deselected.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the functions of the APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) when the START button is pushed, the integrity of its lubrication system, and procedures before its starter is energized. It implies a focus on aviation systems and safety protocols.
Answer
False
The APU START push button performs the tasks described. The APU has an independent lubrication system for cooling. However, there is no requirement for the APU bleed switch to be deselected before the APU starter is energized. Therefore, the statement is False.
