Does your daughter come with a dowry? Then I'm tempted :o)

I agree Tony. The APU wouldn't be on as its switched off on most aircraft once the main generators are online. If your in an airliner as a passenger there will often be a very quick light flicker as the power is switched from the APU to the main supply. The APU is then switched off.

searching around for UFOs and found an exclaimation on how the term originated

ahem..not necessarily...if t/o with anti-icing 'on' its usual to leave apu on to provide cabin air, to give the engines a chance of maintaining
t/o performance while sustaining a heavy bleed air demand.
