Hello there to everyone,
I'm making a checklist for an Embraer ERJ140 (ovviusly I'm speaking about a virtual one), and I'm trying to keep it real as much as I can.
Now my question is simple, I'm aware that the companies in real world aim to save fuel, so I'm tempted to stop the APU bleed and APU straight after starting both of the engines.
Is this a real procedure followed by pilots of ERJ?
I'm asking this because in a tutorial video about an ERJ145 on yt made by a real pilot he's say to keep it till after the take off.... there are any advantages about this procedure? The APU gives you more "power" so a shorter take off? Is a must?
Thanks :)
