Can anyone tell me why Airbus requires the APU to be running for single-engine taxy after landing? Obviously it gives electrical redundancy but what exactly are they afraid is going to happen if the No 1 gen fails? Normal brakes are powered by the Green system - No 1 engine mechanical pump - and the Yellow system powers the parking brakes etc plus you have accumulator pressure as backup?
