737 Unpowered Taxi
I recently flew with a captain who decided to kill engine 2 after vacating (we used idle reverse) and that's nothing out of the ordinary.
It's our policy not to start the APU at certain airports in 'nice' conditions and usually we kill #1 when ground power has been connected.
But this chap decided to kill #1 as we turned into the gate and were still taxying at ~ 8 knots without the APU online.
Do you think this is dangerous? In my book, it's a bad habbit and could be embarassing if you run out of momentum a few meters short. But the Accu is still available for braking and AC power is not necessarily required, right?
What are your thoughts?
