B717: Use of AUX and TRANS Pumps During Pushback
The FCOM (NP) Before Start checklist says "AUX and TRANS Pumps...OFF". But the PT section (PT 10.1) says that they must be ON for pushback.
Can anybody shed some light on this apparent conflict? Should we not be starting engines while the pumps are on, therefore waiting for the pushback to be completed before doing the Before Start checklist?
