General Main components
The APU is a small turbine engine especially designed to provide electrical The main components are :
power and air when the main engines are not running. It incorporates a sophis- — The Auxiliary Power Unit (APU)

own operation continually, ready to stop if a malfunction occurs. — The aircraft systems ( Pneumatic system, Electrical system, Control panels)
Under normal conditions the APU is considered as nonessential equipment.
However, there are certain conditions when the APU is considered essential The APU is a single spool gas turbine engine which drives a Ioad compressor
