|  A300Capt. Another 757 question. I was shutting the APU down tonight when I noticed something weird with the EGT. It was 380* while it was on. When I put it into the off position it went down to 300*, and when it finally shut down the EGT went over 800*. I was just wondering if this was normal. Thanks! |

When selecting the APU off a signal is sent to close the bleed valve (if opened) and a 60 second cool down begins before the APU actually shuts down. About the 800 degrees you saw. I can tell you on the A300-600 that when you select the APU off a "false" overtemp signal is sent and the controller auto shuts down the APU. This is normal. I can't remember but the B757's APU may do the same thing and might explain the high EGT number you saw prior to shutdown. |
