PC24 Engine ‘APU mode’
Anyone have more information on this unusual
system ? I understand this Pilatus doesn’t have a dedicated APU but one engine has been modified to operate continuously at, I believe a different idle speed supplying electrical and pneumatic? power I know some turboprops have this feature but I’ve never seen it on a jet It would seem an advantage to not have to carry around the weight of a separate APU not to mention the lower cost but does it do the same job and what about the extra hours you are putting on that engine ? |
Many small business jet crews use the right engine as an APU already without any accounting for the running hours. I specially designed in mode with accountable servicing etc is a very good idea.

Where's FlyMD?
He should be able to enlighten us (unless it's a commercial secret). |
We calculate the engine hours from take-off to landing. No account for engine running on the ground. Also not for prolonged taxi time.
