Single engine taxi
1) With the massive fuel increases, I just wondered whether single engine taxi OUT (to the runway) is now commonplace among airlines nowadays, and whether this is awkward for pilots or whether it's not a problem. I would imagine (silly though it may sound) that the aircraft is harder to control with one engine, and would want to swing to the left (or right). Is this so?
Also, could someone please give me the A320 procedure for a taxy out? I understand on taxi IN, you simply switch on the APU, flick on the Y ELEC Pump (to save the PTU) and get onto stand, flicking the Y pump off once ENG 1 is shut down.
But how do you do a taxy OUT single engine on the 320?
Cheers
