Yes I would like to add my comment to others on here, Get your hands off the controls PM! The other PTT switch is on the radio panel on the centre console. And in my company the packs go off before entering the runway and not before taxi, that’s a bloody long time with no air for the passengers.

[@MaxEPR]

It was a cargo flight.

[@johnmorris7815]

@ have you ever been on the flight deck of a 747 for any time without air? No I thought not or you wouldn’t have made your comment, basically the 747 is an oven on the FD as all the heat from the cabin rises and the only place it can go is in the hump. In my seven years as a 747 captain I never wore a jumper or a jacket.

[@MaxEPR]

@@johnmorris7815 Yes and no. I've been on the flight deck of a 747 when the APU was handling the A/C. And, I got my PPL and CPL in Tucson, so I've been in hot cockpits for much longer than these guys. Why did they turn them off so early and not start the APU?

[@johnmorris7815]

@ on the Jumbo unlike all the twins I flew before and since the APU is just used for ground air/electrics and starting the engines, that’s it, it can’t even operate through the full flight envelope and is never required for any abnormal/emergency procedures. The normal after start checks turn the packs on and the runway checks include the packs for a packs off departure, the after takeoff checks bring the packs back on but they should be reinstated after acceleration altitude. What these guys were doing was none standard.

[@MaxEPR]

@@johnmorris7815 We have no idea what the APT was or the company, for that matter. This may be a normal procedure for this company at this airport. In my early years at Western (as a Dispatcher) we had several Special Procedures airports in the mountain states. I was at a 747 start-up airline and going through ground school when they lost funding and went out of business, so I didn't finish GS, but I seem to recall that the APU can be used below 10 or 15,000' MSL.
