"Taxi - One Engine
Because of additional operational procedural requirements and crew workload,
taxiing out for flight with an engine shut down requires a high degree of crew
awareness. High bypass engines require warm up prior to applying takeoff thrust
and cool down prior to shutting down. If the engine has been shut down for several
hours, it is desirable to operate at as low a thrust setting as practical for several
minutes prior to takeoff.
If taxiing in after landing with an engine shut down, the crew must be aware of
systems requirements, i.e., hydraulics, brakes, electrical. If possible, make
minimum radius turns in a direction that puts the operating engine on the outside
of the turn. In operational environments such as uphill slope, soft asphalt, high
gross weights, congested ramp areas, and wet/slippery ramps and taxiways, taxi
with both engines operating."
