For your interest, it was SOP to shut down the no.1 engine after landing and taxi in with the no.2 at fast idle (58% on the throttle detent) in order to keep the AC on line via the air-driven turbine.
That's it, I knew there was a reason that the idle had to be kept up, couldn't recall it, thank you very much. What did you do in the descent then, or did they windmill enough to keep the gennies online? One other question, I remember a pair coming back low on fuel (been a c*ck up with the tanker I think) and they were running on one engine. Was there a prefered engine to shut down because of the thrust line?
And one other thing...
did you have a favourite mark? I fly occasionally with an ex Lightning jock and was surprised when he told me by far the best one to fly in terms of handling was the Mk 1.
