An auxiliary power unit (APU) control system for an aircraft is disclosed and includes an APU, an air inlet having an effective area, an air inlet door moveable to vary the effective area of the air inlet, an actuator configured to move the air inlet door into a set position, one or more processors, and a memory coupled to the one or more processors. The memory stores data comprising a database and program code that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the APU control system to receive one or more ambient signals indicative of an air density value. The system also determines the effective area of the air inlet based on the air density value. The system is further caused to instruct the actuator to move the air inlet door into the set position.
