Full climb thrust to altitude.

4 mile final, rain or shine... gear down flaps 15... works great every time.

idle thrust reverse after touchdown with autobrakes as appropriate. The three minute cool down time for engine shut down commences at touchdown. After three minutes shut an engine down.

Single engine taxi out burns no less fuel than two engine taxi at high gross weights.
