What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) A/c operating with right generator on MEL, using APU and left generators. Flight crew report: at cruise, FL330, the APU generator tripped off line and could not be reset. The left generator became erratic and failed to pick up the load, followed by the left generator bus on and off rapidly, then completely dropping off line. No combination of generator switching would restore more than emergency ac/dc busses. The APU continued to run, no generator would maintain any load. The crew performed the emergency procedures and diverted to Billings Montana where it made an uneventful landing. Crash fire rescue (CFR) was standing by. The a/c taxied to the gate under its own power.
