SINGLE ENGINE TAXI

The procedures below are provided to allow operators to perform a
single engine taxi. This procedure can be adopted at crowded airports,
where the taxi time may be too long, leading to unnecessary fuel waste
and air pollution.
For single engine taxi, change or complement the normal procedures
according to the following.
BEFORE START
Evaluate which engine will be started based on fuel distribution on
tanks, passenger boarding and baggage loading. If the airplane is
operating under MEL with one engine driven generator inoperative,
choose the engine which has both generators operating.
NOTE: Batteries charge may be preserved by using all available
generators.
AFTER START
FADEC Control Knob ....................................................RESET, THEN
Electric Hydraulic Pumps ..............................................AUTO
Check on MFD Hydraulic Page that both hydraulic systems
pressure are within green range.
Air Conditioning and Pneumatic System .......................AS REQUIRED
If both air conditioning packs are required, select Crossbleed to
OPEN.

Check all DC Buses energized and operating generators load. If
required, turn off equipment not essential (galley, coffee maker, etc.).
In such case, inform flight attendant that those equipment shall be off
until second engine start.
