A320 - APU BLEED PRESS INDICATION
Hello There,
So the books say amber XX's will be shown if ADIRS2 is N/A or OFF or if signal from ECB is invalid/not sent.
You would think a pressure sensor would be something simple and independant.
Another funny thing is if I compare 2 different FCOM's I have found, one being recent 2012. The 2012 one says it uses ADIRS1 and the old ones on smart cockpit state ADIRS2.
Fairly useless thing to know but I cant help to ask out of interest!

- does anyone know what it is actually referencing from the ADIRS?
- Is it using a static pressure or something as a reference?

Hi 100.above,
It is. It simply measures the total pressure.
In order to display the Delta pressure, the system needs to know the ambient Pressure also.

Delta pressure
Hello Rudderrudderrat,
You say that "In order to display the Delta pressure, the system needs to know the ambient Pressure also." But the APU system page does not show any kind of delta pressure, I'm confused, maybe you can elaborate a liitle more?
Thanks in advance.
