You may have trouble telling the difference but I don't. I've been doing this a long time.

Never used a GPU either.

I use one when free and available. Saves batteries, improves engine health. About 70% of my starts are GPU. I'm in my 5th year on my batteries (Concorde AGM).

On a quick turn, engine is already warm, so less of a load to start, so not as critical as the first start of the day.

If the GPU is available, it doesn't not add time to start process, perhaps reduces it a few seconds from faster spin up.

That is good battery life for the standard sized batteries.

I use series for all starts and the spin up is fast.

Do you do a gen assist start on parallel?

I have a :D in response, meaning I get it. We should start a comedy club.

I have a pee tube that works well for men and women. Clean water is poured down the tube after use.

Jet starts don't need to rotate the prop and easier on a battery. Much depends on the match of engine and battery. Mustang battery is undersized and benefits from GPU starts.

Engine health is not my problem when on an engine program.

I thought nobody had to pee on your jet because you go so much faster than everyone else?

That is a myth I try and maintain. Don't burst the bubble. :lol:

I am operating under the same assumption, although I hope I never have to find out.

If you were looking at a jet model that had the option of an APU would you prefer to have one or not?


Dunno. From what I hear you should have a pilot in the aircraft whenever the APU is running. APU is another engine with the expense. Some airports limit the duration of APU operation.

APU makes the airplane self sufficient. You can heat or cool the cabin on the ground and keep avionics powered up.

It depends.

Whenever I hear an APU running, I get APU envy. I have flown with an APU, loved it.
I would stay with the plane, as I do with a GPU, with everything on, if the GPU quit, my battery would be toast in about ten minutes.

At the jet I'm buying this year it is around 150 pph.
