Air Conditioning .......................................................... AS REQUIRED
If air conditioning is desired and if the APU has been running for
more than 3 minutes (5 minutes is preferable) open the
CROSSBLEED and select both PACKS to OPEN. The recirculation
fans (RECIRC button) must be ON.
If the passengers are not to board the airplane through a jetway,
then it is recommended that PACK 1 be switched OFF thus
reducing the external noise at the main passenger door for the

comfortable cabin temperature, PACK 1 can be left OFF until after
both engines are running (after going through the After Start
Checklist).
