....what they could do was shut down the APU, cut the BAT, then everything was ok!
Its obviousley a reboot like whats needed on Windows XP. Since Scarebus and Microshaft both bild plastic puter machines it should be easey to figure out.

PS Mate of mine applyed recentley for a A320 job (unrated) and copped this in the sim:

TRI: "GOLDEN RULE OF SCAREBUS - ALLWAYS ALLWAYS ALLWAYS FOLLA ECAM ACTION!! DONT THINK, JUST DO IT!"

[....fuel leak....]

Mate: [XFEED VALVE.....OPEN]

TRI: "What the hellareya doin?"

Mate: "Im blindly follawin the ecam action like ya sed"

TRI: "Dont folla the bloodey ecam or youll kill us!"

Mate: "Yeh I know that. I can see it on that fuel piccey thingey. Left tanks pissin fuel like theres no tomorra"

TRI: "THINK MAN THINK!

Mate: "You told me not to think just do it"

.....[SIM FREEZE].....

TRI: "Look just pull the QRH and Vol 3 its all writen there!"

Mate: "Seems a bit stupid pullin books when this u-beaut ecams supposta iliminate the need for it"

TRI: "Its French! Its meant to be stupid and nonsencical!"

Mate: "Um, this is bull!!!!. Can I go back to me trustey Boeing now?"

TRI: "Yeh piss orf. Youll live longer!"
