If I was gonna strike that's exactly how I'd do it.
Wait until I've got an A380 packed full of disgruntled passengers, let them all sit down. Get comfy. Maybe wait for a few passengers to displace an old mans luggage a few rows down so he blocks the isle when he needs to get back up. Put the engines on idle. Burn a few thousand dollars in fuel. Wait for ground crew to load all the luggage and food. Wait for a Karen to get 15 mins into her flight entertainment movie of choice...
Then I'd turn to my co-pilot and say "you know what John, I don't really feel like flying today".
"Neither do I Fred, neither do I"
I likey the way you thinkey.
Perfect, except for the engines. Aircraft has an APU (aircraft power unit) that they use at the gate for electrical & air conditioning needs. Good news is the APU uses the aircrafts jet fuel, albeit a much lesser rate than the engines.
The A in APU is for auxiliary. It’s also often hooked up to ground electricity, so no fuel is wasted.
You cannot plug in the APU, it’s just a small turbine engine. You plug the whole aircraft into ground power and leave the APU shutoff. The APU burns approximately 150 lbs per hour.
Yeah but once you power the engines to idle, they disconnect the APU right? Or is that right before they taxi?
At gate loading up. APU = ON. Close door. Push back. Engines turned on. APU usually will stay on until after takeoff in case it’s generator is needed in an emergency.
Land. Turn on APU. Taxi to gate. Stop at gate. Engines off. Keep APU on.
Karen Activate!
