Smoke removal A320
Hi, folks, i have two questions . When you have smoke/fumes/avncs smoke , if the SMOKE/FUMES becomes the gratest threat you may consider the ELEC EMER CONFIG.
According with the FCTM 03.026 page 6 "the SMOKE REMOVAL procedure must be applied before the electrical configuration is set. Indeed, in electrical emergency configuration SMOKE REMOVAL procedure cannot be applied, since manual control of cabin pressure cannot be selected"
Suppose you procced according with the SMOKE/FUMES REMOVAL Procedure and you descent to FL100.
I read the QRH 1.06:
*At FL100 or MEA
* If electrical emergency configuration:
-APU MASTER SW..........ON
-PACK 1+2....................OFF
-MODE SEL...................MANUAL
-MAN V/S CTL...............FULL UP
-RAM AIR......................ON
-APU MASTER SW..........OFF
Question 1: Then it's posible to apply the electrical configuration before the SMOKE REMOVAL Procedure?
Question 2: The QRH calls for APU Master SW ON, not APU ON. I don't know the relationship between the Master SW and the MANUAL SEL if any. Dont start APU to avoid the lost of 3.5 minutes of battery life?
Should I start it?
Thanks in advance
