Thanks for the detailed reply.
Is there an approximate figure of fuel saving achieved by re-selecting it and not using the APU for electrics, but only bleed air? I haven't been able to find a fuel rate figure on the maintenance pages.
I only ask out of interest as there often seems to be a reluctance to do this and go to APU electrics as soon as packs are needed on the ground even if external power is provided.
