Hi All.

I am 100% sure, at those of my days with B 737-800, there was a maintenance page where APU fuel flow can be seen on ground and I had confirmed that 2 pack fuel flow is less than 1 pack fuel flow. And it was a reccomendation to use 2 packs for less fuel consumption.

KRUGERFALAP,

Probably we are flying at some company and I 100% agree with you. Most of the time I do think they are not reading what they write to SOP; there are so many illogical statements and discrepancies. They are sitting on the desk and writing the SOP as unaware of real operational environment. That is why SOP is changing so freqeuntly. Isn`t it funny this company is flying with Airbus so many years though, still not a sure what correct SOP is, and changing so often? The last I heard today, they changed the call "what to say before raising the gears after T/O".
