hello...
just wondering to know this :
is using Eng's to supply packs on T/o would save the Apu life duration as the Eng's will need 2-3 degrees more on the flex power for t/o (i think these 2-3 degrees will not affect the eng life...correct me if i am wrong) this is ofcourse when max avail eng's power is not required i.e flex t/o.
Or...using the apu for the packs would save the eng's life and maintenance cost on the long term ?
i am saying this because for the last year and a half we are using apu to supply the pack for t/o...and now the apu's are being useless and not as before when it comes to supply air cond on ground as some times we request external air cond unit in hot and humid days.
thanks
