APU shuts off after starting

I guess the guys at Textron aren't as well-versed in their own equipment as they thought they were!

Love these videos. Please keep making them

An early Christmas Present from Shadojet - that was great - thank you for sharing! =)

You might have had an internal winding shorting to ground in the stator, although, if you have a field excited rotor winding that is more likely to short over time. very interesting

Nothing like schooling the "experts" on what's possible and impossible 😅

[@AndrewZonenberg]

Did you try hipot or resistance testing the windings on the old generator? I bet there's damage to the insulation that at room temperature isn't quite touching and when things expand and warm up, something slips a tiny bit and they touch.

Great videos, thanks.

Make sure you follow the checklist procedure first. Then go for troubleshooting. If this does not work call technician after entry into tech log

"Thats impossible..." Heard so often by mechanics, and so often false. Merry Christmas. Charles

Fifteen years ago the guy that owned the repair station I used said he gets rich off Citation III models because of the amount of work on them . Looks like the Citation VII will do the same if this is the plane that keeps popping up in the vids. Is it a 650 series family trait?

[@StevieWonder737]

I've flown a III for 5 years and then we moved to a VII for the past year and half. I've found the maintenance to be quite low. I do believe that if it gets behind over the years it builds up. But ours have been very reasonable for a 40 yr old airplane.

Sometimes the flow charts don’t work. Hopefully you didn’t have to eat the cost of the voltage regulator.
