Single engine taxi vs no engine taxi?
I flew on a well known airline recently and sat at the over wing exits. I have over 1500 hours on the type flown and more on other types. Without doubt, we taxied onto the apron and at a decent speed, shut down both engines. At least 200 meters from the turn on. We then turned onto stand and came to a halt free-wheeling so to speak. It has happened on the airline before but usually just as we come onto the stand, not 200 meters from the turn onto stand.
My question: Is it safe? Is it legal? Is it now SOP in some airlines?
Screwballs
Ps. to assist in the technical side the aircraft type was a 737 NG.
