A system and method for controlling an inlet door of an auxiliary power unit (APU) are provided. It is determined whether a condition to inhibit a start of the APU is present. If no condition to inhibit the start of the APU is present, a door-opening signal comprising instructions to cause the inlet door to be commanded to an open position in advance of a prospective command to start the APU is output. If the condition to inhibit the start of the APU is present, a door-closing signal comprising instructions to cause the inlet door to be commanded to a closed position is output.
