Correct me if I’m wrong? but skippers are currently operating at least 2 dash 300’s without APU’s and are conducting battery starts on a daily basis, yes some starts do get on the hot side, but hot starts are rare. Apparently the company does supply portable battery packs for such a start. My original comment regarding the APU relates to a mate who fly’s with this company (pax) and has commented on the lack of aircon on hot summers day at PH and at site, walking in to a hot cabin with no air until engine start. This may be fine at this time of the year but I find it hard to believe that a big company like this could be that tight and not supply APU power/aircon when operating into the remote sites that Skippers do.

I hope we aren’t talking about Skippers now, are we?
