One of the worst nightmares for any pilot is to be stuck in a remote location with no access to help and with an aircraft that needs repairs. Unless you have the right tools at your disposal, trying to patch up an aircraft could be an impossible task. Even with the right tools, how do you operate them without power? You do not want to be sawing at a piece of metal for hours when a power saw can easily do it in a few minutes. Having a ground power unit in your aircraft can give you peace of mind in such situations.
A ground power unit, otherwise known as GPU, will give you power wherever you go. It can be used either in a ramp at the servicing area or flown in inside the aircraft. Ground powered units can perform almost all functions that are required to repair and maintain the aircraft. You can take it with you on long flights too. All you need to do is connect it to a power source whenever you need it.
Ground powered units are available for all aircrafts and helicopters, for commercial as well as military use. These units can run on a couple of tanks of fuel for several hours; hopefully giving you enough time to get the aircraft repaired and get out of there. It is advisable to carry repair tools on board that can work with the ground powered unit that you are carrying.
The purpose of the unit is to supply power in an emergency situation. Carry high quality aircraft drills and other equipment. With some good tools and a GPU on board, you can fly peacefully knowing fully well that if urgent repairs are required, you are fully equipped to do so.
