Hi,
I've never flown transport category aircraft (see my full and frank profile). I saw this passage below on an Airbus document and I'd like to understand the factors that go into whether you can or can't / should or shouldn't taxi single-engined.
Tks to anyone who has the time/inclination to help.
Taxiing with one (2) engine (s) out saves fuel but some drawbacks to be considered: operators must base their policy on airport config. (taxiways, runways, ramps
