Sentry APU

Anyone know what APU is on the Sentry aircraft in the RAF?

Reason for asking , I am about to have an interview for a post at Waddo.

Thanks for the reply.

Is it hard time , or on condition, does it have any LLp's or are they subject to inspection ?

Is it a ground use only , or does it have airborne capability , if so what is the max relight altitude ?

What are the current FAA AD's on this unit ?

Helpful responses are always welcome .

seac,

The FAA may have AD's on the APU (Check the (FAA: Home) website - it's free) but whether the RAF apply them or not is entirely another matter.

Knowing the RAF - they're still dropping the Bathtub every few hours to check the Oil & record the Clock Hours...
