Shutting down an engine whilst taxiing
I took a flight with BA some time ago on a B757. We landed at LHR and started taxiing to the terminal. The crew shut down one of the engines to help save fuel (money). I put though a suggestion to my company on the employees company suggestion scheme that we do the same. The savings were phenomenal even if it were possible only 20-30% of the time.
The company decided not to take up my suggestion mainly due to increased Nose wheel scrub etc.
Do many other company’s follow this as a normal procedure and has nose wheel scrub been increased by that much?
