ASFKAP - amen mate! #1 gen US? No problem! Bung the APU on Gen Bus 1! Your MEL'ed, deferred defected, signed out, off you go! Then a week later the APU craps itself in mid-cruise and you end up diverting to "the nearest suitable airport" as per the single gen drill, and suddenley engineering have egg on there faces because the damn aeroplane has been sittin on its arse at home base for 6 hours every night and no bastard even bothered to try and fix the damn thing. Simpley because the damn MEL says no one has to friggin repair it for 30 days!
Whatever happened to the old "cant depart a base where repairs can be made" bit in the MEL? Who invented this 7 day, 20 day, 30 day DDG crap anyway?
And um, yeh the flap xmitter could be the prob too, but never heard of a -15A engine starter cutout causin stall warn probs in the -200.
