I have not seen single engine taxi in my previous 6 airlines that operate 320/330 in aus/asia/pacific.

Penko,

"Thats not our decision to make".

Its not my decision, i am a simple line pilot. But it is up to flight ops to balance the competing interests of safety and profit. Some do this well, some dont. Bean counters are important but they should never be permitted to be the sole driver of operational policy!

Great point. Our company does not have SE taxi culture and as such the procedure is rather cumbersome and not very well thought through, IMHO.

Sonicbum,

I suspect the entire SE taxi procedure is done without much support from Airbus.

Many airlines now do the flight control checks stationry before taxi. Both sides.
And I suspect you did not read my second post on the subject, there is a lot more to it than pump/bleed/start. Remember airlines have different procedures and my airline probably does it differently to yours.
