I fly the 777 and have always wondered why people put the APU switch to ON for a few seconds before START. There's absolutely no recommendation from Boeing to do so and doesn't aid in any way.

Since you’re a pilot you should have more logic. Even if Boeing doesn’t recommend. This is more safety just to make sure everything is working. You can’t just wake up and walk around…..

@@eUK95 reason for holding the Start switch to 'ON' for one second, was to ensure that the start sequence was initiated. The switch is spring loaded and if the selection isn't deliberate enough, repeat again logic ✌️

What are the cockpit indications (DUs, ISFD etc) available with just the battery ON? You would need ground air supplied for the APU start, right?

No indications. DUs do not work just on battery. Just the drive lights and the APU fault light flashes a couple of times when starting. APU doesn’t require air for start, electric starter on battery.

Wouldn’t doing an APU fire test after the APU has already started be counter intuitive?

No because the screens aren’t powered up yet because there isn’t external power or apu to power it up. Batteries don’t power the screens up

As per the AMM, no fire test before APU start with no electrical power available. Fire test is done after.

Not required on 777. You're thinking of 737 and perhaps A320
