Also consider this - most of the Spanish and Canaries airfields insist on you shutting the APU down 5 mins after chocks.

This doubles the starts and shortens the life of the APU.

We can't guarantee that the fixed power will either :-

a. Be there

b. Work !

They place all these constraints upon us without thinking of the financial repercussions
