Thank you for uploading this video. Yesterday was Day 01 GND @ OO. I was not understanding the written material in class. Your video was exactly what I needed. I completed the hands-on practical this morning. The instructor said that my partner and I did very well. All the credit goes to you, sir. Thank you!
@@nknutson1 If you ever end up teaching at the schoolhouse, please ask Training to consider making videos just like yours. I understand procedures can change ever so often, but having something is better than nothing. They need to understand, not everyone learns the same. Based on a recent Google search, it appears that I’m what they call a “kinesthetic” (i.e., hands-on) learner. (…Gonna have to add that to my vocabulary 😂). Thanks again, and hopefully I will be sitting in the right-seat with you.
People may be wondering about the hockey stick comment. At the 1:21 mark you'll see a green vertical line with a hook to the left (looks like a hockey stick) going from the batt bus at the top to the apu batt dir bus and main batt dir bus on the bottom. When you turn the apu on, connect the gen, and check the electrical page (3:42 second mark) that green line (hockey stick) should be gone.
Greetings Emmanuel here, I am all the way in south Africa. Might you by any chance have some fcoms and ftcm on the 100/200/700/900 on pdf. Please I am going to start training on these in a month or two.
Is it necessary to check the exhaust area of the APU on the CRJ200 to make sure that it is clear? Or is it assumed? I suppose that could be an issue on any jet, but especially the 200.
It wasn't specifically part of a checklist but there was a proper stand-off zone you could find somewhere in the SOPs. As well, whomever did the pre-flight walk around would assess the overall condition of that part of the plane as well. As an FO tbat would do a lot of walk arounds in tbe cold you'd find me standing next to the APU exhaust many a times warming my hands in the fridgid northern winters. Sometimes even roasting marshmallows ;)
Thanks for these videos! I noticed that you didn't activate the beacon before starting the APU. Isn't the beacon supposed to be active whenever a powerplant is running?

You are correct. It's been 4 years I can't remember if it was a bad bulb. There were a bunch of MEL tags on the panel so I'm assuming it was a bad bulb.
