I did learn something new, however. I didn’t realize even with the APU Off, that oil could leak from it and get into the ECS. I always assumed it was blow back etc from the engine bearing seal getting into the Bleed Air. Interesting.

I don’t know why Airbus isn’t paying for these issues since it’s a known problem with the series.
There was a week of 3 busses out of service at VPS alone not that long ago. One was driven off the edge of a 300-ft-wide runway. The other two were a 2-for-1 takedown. Wingtip hit the tail of another company aircraft while parking on the ramp. New airplanes will not solve these issues... |

On shutdown the IAE purges the fuel system and releases a bunch of vapor. If you put the APU bleed on immediately you will get some of that vapor into the cabin air system. If you wait about a minute after both engines are shut down before putting on the APU bleed then you will pretty much eliminate that issue. The other fun airbus fume issue is the filters in the a/c packs getting contaminated with engine oil from a bad seal. That stuf is super toxic. |
