easyJet single engine taxi
Have easyJet introduced a new SOP that requires engine 2 to be shut down after landing. If so, what is the advantage of this?
The other day I was meeting an aircraft that was taxiing with only the No1 engine running. Due to a faulty AGNIS the aircraft was forced to stop while making a left turn onto stand. When the marshaller showed up, the aircraft struggled to get moving again because he was applying power against the direction of the turn, not to mention the noise and spray!
This is not a one-off, seems to be the norm with the 319, but what's the point, especially if you know that a left turn is required onto stand?
