Typhoon

I enjoyed 'Typhoon' but two parts baffled me. When taxying out for the type's combat debut, the author suddenly realises the map of the target hasn't been loaded. Would you not check that before starting the engines? Also, when one of the Tornadoes goes tech and the crew taxi back for the spare, wasn't that the perfect moment to taxi back and load the maps? Instead, he sits there at idle for 20 minutes, burning into his reserve fuel. At the very least, why not simply turn the engines off until the spare Tornado appears? NOTE this is not a criticism, there may be perfectly valid answers and I just don't know them. Anyone know? (If its classified just say and I'll delete the thread).
