(8) Post a fire guard any time the APU is started.
(9) Minimize APU starts in high density areas (personnel, equipment or structures).
d. The following forms and records instructions will apply.
(1) APU starts will now be counted. Once the APU start number has been calculated IAW
paragraph 8 above, enter the number of starts on the DA form 2408--13, Block 7 (APU History) Current
Starts.
(2) APU starts for each flight will be documented on DA Form 2408--12, Block 6A (APU: Starts)
and at the end of the mission day totaled in Block 8 (APU: Starts), then transferred to DA Form 2408--13,
Block 7, Today Starts. APU starts for maintenance or other purposes (Dailies, Raising the Ramp, Using the
Heater, etc.) not associated with a flight nor accounted for on the DA Form 2408--12 will be recorded, in
pencil on the DA Form 2408--13, Block 7, APU History Starts Today Block. When closing out the forms at
the end of a mission day, the total from the DA Form 2408--12 will be brought forward and appended to the
starts in the DA Form 2408--13, APU History Starts Today Block, before adding to current starts to get the
total starts.
(3) A running total of starts will be kept on the DA Form 2408--13. APU starts will not be zeroed
at the 15th or end of the month. Any time a T--62T--2B APU is removed/replaced or turned in for repair,
copy the total number of accumulated starts from the latest DA Form 2408--13 to the APU DA Form
2408--5--1 (Equipment Modification Record Component) and the DA Form 2408--16 (For the APU) along with
the date, and the aircraft tail number. Also, complete block 16 (APU SSN) on the DA Form 2410.
(4) Ensure that the DA Form 2408--13, Block 7, Current Starts, are changed when an APU is
removed/replaced. Get the new APU starts from the APU DA Form 2408--5--1 or the APU 2408--16.
(5) Units will create a DA Form 2408--16 for each APU. Any time an APU is moved from one
aircraft to another or turned in for overhaul, the total number of accumulated starts will be taken from the
latest DA Form 2408--13 and entered in block 7, Significant Historical Data, of DA Form 2408--16 and block
16 of the DA Form 2410. For APUs received from overhaul, the number of accumulated starts will be tracked
against the compressor wheel.
(6) New compressor wheels, P/N 4503340 and new turbine wheel P/N 4503999, which make
up the new turbine assy, P/N 4504001, will have accumulative starts tracked. These parts are used on APU
P/N 160150--10A or 160150--100A.
