A320 OETD w/ Crossbleed Start
Hello All
My mob has recently modified standard SOP to include the use of single-engine-taxi departure but with switching the APU off after the first engine start in the name of fuel-saving. The crew then start the second engine using the established cross-bleed start procedure. In some of the peripheral documentation around it's introduction, it was mentioned that many other airlines (I seem to recall North American ones specifically) have already adopted this, and that it happens all the time. True? Thoughts?
