Delta Sierras. IDG's are not disconnected to save fuel.

For an IDG fault that requires disconnection and APU started iaw QRH, this will eat into ETP1D minimums unless the reduced gearbox load on the engine provides sufficient fuel saving to offset this burn.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INFO RE THIS SITUATION?

I say again Delta Sierras DON'T REPLY
