how do you know you'll have the ground power available on stand? On most airports they won't give you the same stand every time,and you don't have ground power available on every stand ( ex: LHR ,FRA, MAD...)

You know the ground power availability for every stand?
Even so,from my experience,the ground people will not insert the ground power every time,so you'll have to tell them and wait with the engine on untill they do so.
And I don't know the figures,but how about the ground power costs compared to Apu usage cost (about 1 hr,some 100 kg fuel, operating costs..) Some airports tend to have high ramp costs ,I think.
