Excessive APU fuel burn on the A330 since the SU5

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Excessive APU fuel burn after SU5 update. APU now burns unbelievable amounts of fuel. After about 10 minutes, I think it went through 1 ton, if not more! I’m currently flying A330-200RR, pax variant, but I suspect it’s the same for all of them.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

Every time.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Load aircraft

  2. Fire up APU

  3. Observe fuel tanks

Yep saw this today, ridiculous.

It is like the testers have not done a single flight in this aircraft….

I have it too. It’s round about 60 kg/min…definitely too much. Only what helps is to start APU short before pushback an turn of directly when engines are running. you can calculate on top to your fuel 500-600kg APU fuel and you don’t have later issues while the flight…thats the workaround for now

Thank you for the bug report.

We have created an internal ticket to see if our team already has this logged, and if not they will attempt to reproduce the issue and create a new bug report. This item is now marked as feedback-logged. If there is an existing bug report or one is created, we will move this thread to bug-logged.

Well, I was wondering the same. I mean, I’ll do the testing for free, as I’m sure many of us would, just to have it finally working without issue :smiley:
