To be honest, I really don’t know who is going to conduct my oral, but Pan Am will probably inform me.
That was my (perhaps too) cynical answer to your question, "What's FAA?" Who ever gives the oral exam, they will be a representative of the Administrator.

When you walk out to the plane, what are you looking for?
(Exterior Safety Check items.)
Before we even get on the plane, what's powered?
(Hot Battery bus items.)
What requirements have to be met to start the APU?
Battery Switch ON, APU fire switch and handle IN.
What does the APU do for us?
Bleed air and electrical power
Which one has priority?
Electric
Why?
There's no generator drive unit on the APU.
What are the limitations for using the APU on the ground?
In flight?
How does the APU get its fuel?
What will cause the APU to shut down automatically?
What are the indications of an APU fire?
What are the memory items for an APU fire?
What happens when you pull the APU fire switch?
What if the fire switch doesn't unlock?

That's probably enough about the APU.
