@Spooky 2:
Sir, this is slightly off-thread, but your comment,
..."Some 737's utilizing a Boeing APU maint. program are exempt from the APU requirement prior or during the designated ETOPS portion of the flight. The start is usually done at the end of the ETOPS Segment when cold-soaked..." ... confuses me a bit. What am I missing? If the APU was not used during an ETOPS segment, why would one want to start it when cold-soaked or not, at the end of the ETOPS segment? I do not doubt you, sir, but I must be missing something. Perhaps a critical word is missing. I don't do 737 and do not have access to the books, without a LOT of trouble, so I pass it back to you. Thank you
