APU FAULT: EMER SHUT DN

[colman]

First day with the A310 and trying to learn as I go off of tutorials and checklists to go from Cold & Dark to full startup and flying, so forgive what is probably a stupid question.

I get the APU fired up and generating power to keep the plane alive while I run through checklists and set up the FMS, and every time, without fail, 10-15 minutes later, the APU goes into emergency shutdown and will not restart. I've tried starting from cold and dark, starting from the On-APU state, and it always shuts down.

Is there something obvious that I might be missing in my startup config that would make this happen?

 

Just cleared my ECAM warnings and the APU still does not appear to function. I guess for now I'm using the air start cart.

Heya!

I just left my APU running for ~20 Minutes and can´t replicate any APU emergency shutdown.

Is it possible, that you pulled the APU Fire Handle by chance? Thats the only way I can get that message to pop up

I’ve had this same issue.  Very frustrating because it used to work. Awesome plane but no way to use it now.  Ever since the last update the apu shutdown every time

Did you by chance adjust your fuel to 0?

I have the same problem, it's when I load fuel and cargo with the tablet, when I click, GPU turn's automatically off and when i turn it back on, I have that massage "APU Fault, EMRG SHT DWN". It works but only without loading the plane with the tablet......... Any solution ???
