Post Dash-8 Aux. power unit

Hi guys,

To those who know the Dash-8, in particular the 300-series with an APU, you will know that its weight-on-wheels logic circuit prevents any starting of the APU in flight.
I colleague an I were discussing whether there was a possibility to override this function for eg. pulling circuit breakers etc. to get the APU started in flight (because it will be a good thing to have in an emergency such as total electric failure).

Any knowledgeable folk out there with ideas ?

Thanx.
