Hi!
I know that I am doing things a little bit different sometime but having been on other A/C where they had a cool down period for their APU, I am doing the same on the CRJ.
I remove the load for a while go on with other checks and when I don't forget I shut the APU down. It is the same principle I have applied for the flaps in the past when the speed were 230 230 197 and 191 I used to lower them at speed much lower than max speed.
Very impressive the comments we get from "Jos conna�t tout" sometime saying that it doesn't hurt to go from 680* to shut-off with no cooling. Why don't we do the same with the engine instead of waiting 2 min at idle power.
In the past,
We have been switching APR off below -18 and 1000" for not overboosting the engine for the first 21/2 years of operation.
When the real story came out nobody did bother explaining what had happened, being too embarassed for their huge mistakes. The article I wrote was very polite for once, it was just informative. It was never published in the CRJ journal and I could go on and on because I am like the bunny with the Energizer batteries. I have been there over 6 years now. After hating that A/C so much, I am starting to like it now. Isn't it scary?
