"Why the comment about the APU?"

The answer's there in the CAUTION. The gearbox driven AC generators are cooled by gearbox oil and may fail. Wouldn't it be nice to still have full electrical power supplied by the APU generator? For all the criticism of the S92 it is particularly strong on redundant systems.
