if you have delayed engine start, to save the  battaries ,APU should be use. electric_always_available=1 , Then you don't need APU.

The reason I added that line to the aircraft.cfg was because I my avionics would turn off after a few minutes of flight. I did read the manual(s) and after closely following the checklists provided in them, I still lost power to my avionics. I even wrote them into a text document so I could follow them using the kneeboard.  This happened regardless of any dials or knobs settings that are supposed to provide the power to the aircraft. My avionics would turn off anyway. So I added that line and solved the problem.

Although I have added that line into my aircraft.cfg, I still need to use the APU to start the engines (unless I use FSX default CTRL+E).
