High
thrust increases Foreign Object ingestion risk
– Engine damage

Slow
or tight taxi turn more difficult at high gross weight
Not recommended on slippery taxiways

16. F.A.Q.

Do i need APU to taxi with engine out ?
APU
use considered in the engine out taxi :
– APU use part of the SOP
– Minimize electrical transients
– Prevent smells/fumes entering the air conditioning during taxi in
Start APU before arriving at the gate and before engine
shutdown
© AIRBUS 2005 S.A.S. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document.
Minimizing APU
use helps save fuel and reduces maintenance
– APU max consumption : between 125 (SA) and 290 kg/hr (A3456)
But APU

is not necessary for engine out taxi

19. F.A.Q.

In icing conditions,non running engine will not necessarily ice :
Icing
Non
conditions do not mean necessarily ice accretion
running engine less prone to nacelle and fan icing
© AIRBUS 2005 S.A.S. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document.
– Due to absence of fan airflow speed
But,difficult to assess conditions under which a non running
engine will ice.

Consequences if engine out taxi in icing conditions :
Possible
delayed takeoff :

– If engine acceleration requested before takeoff
– Due to warm up , up to 5 minutes (depending on engine)
before engine acceleration, on the last started engine

Degraded control on slippery taxiway due to :
Use
of assymetric engine anti ice increases ground idle thrust
Conclusion :
not delay engine anti-icing, to avoid possible ice ingestion and
engine damage

Braking is allowed during engine start/shutdown
FCOM wording clarified at next revision (sept 05) :
“during engine start or shutdown,a slight jerk forward may occur
if brakes are applied when the aircraft is moving”

But, recent isolated in-service event led to necessity of flight
control check in takeoff configuration , in terms of electrical
and hydraulic power.

F.A.Q.
Can I perform the flight control check during an “engine out”
taxi ( All FBW) (cont’d) ?
New procedure to be incorporated to all FBW for commonality
purposes :
The flight control check has to be performed
after all engine starts, followed by the autobrake
max selection.
Can be performed during engine warm up period.
