However, back then UAL had our own engineering department, and they got us numbers. Now, keeping the guppy 300 & 500's cool on the ground was another trick indeed.

I have been in Vegas, (Shuttle,) with temps that high. Unimatic didn't know what to do with the TO performance... However, back then UAL had our own engineering department, and they got us numbers. Now, keeping the guppy 300 & 500's cool on the ground was another trick indeed.

If they can change the 75/57 FM to make it SOP to plug in the headset post flight, you'd think they could make it SOP to open the guppy vents along dimming cockpit lights, what with trying save APU $s and all.
No matter now. I'm done with it. If I see external air connected with the vents closed the APU comes on, hot or cold, 5 prior or 90 prior, rain or shine. They don't want to change the FM, no longer my concern.
