Dat is Etops wetgeving. Sinds wanneer vliegen de TFL 737's onder Etops? ( zou goed kunnen hoor )ETOPS-wetgeving wrote:4.2 Auxiliary Power Unit (APU)
A gas turbine engine intended for use as a power source for driving generators,
hydraulic pumps, and other aeroplane accessories and equipment, and/or to provide
compressed air for aeroplane pneumatic systems.
a) An essential APU installation provides the bleed air and/or mechanical power
necessary for the despatch of a transport category aeroplane for operations other
than extended range operations with twin-engined aeroplanes.
b) An APU installation required for extended range operations provides the bleed air
and/or mechanical power necessary for the safe flight of a twin-engined transport
category aeroplane approved for extended range operation and is designed and
maintained to provide a level of reliability necessary to perform its intended
function.
Komt er dus op neer dat de APU de elektriciteit- en bleedairvermogen op zich neemt zodra er een motor uitvalt zodat de resterde motor alleen thrust hoeft te leveren.
