guys guys ..........and girls, let's stay with the subject ! we don't want another Flybe bash in here. It's Flight safety Canada in Downsview/Toronto........and as far as instructors go, there have been 4 different ones over a 2 weeks period, it looks like everybody is part time down there, what give??????

The same limitation applies to the 100-200 series, the ESU will auto-shut the APU(pseu signal) if you take off with the APU running. I don't believe it has something to do with the engine exhaust since the AFM says for ground use only and does specify if the engines are running or not.
Another member mentioned the Apu compartment being not fire resistant. VEry possible explanation, any reference for that ?????
