Do you have to acquire clearance from ATC for switching engine off and on like that?
If you guys do, may know how you request the clearance? Thanks

it was long ago, back in the early 90s so, I think it was: Come in, shut down left engine. Off load pax. close the door. start left eng, shut down right. Do the fuel and bags, off and on. When finished, start right, shut down left, open door, load pax, paperwork. close door and start left engine and leave.

did it several times out in the remote villages. It was always COLD!
