Dear friends and followers, welcome back to my channel and to a frequently asked question, why do pilots sometimes taxi with only one engine?
Very often you can see smaller turboprop driven planes or jet airliners taxi to or from the gate with only one engine running. Why is that so? Primarily to safe fuel and the reduce the risk of loose debris being sucked up into the the engine.
But there is more to it than just turning off the engine or starting it later. Hydraulic, electrical and air-conditioning systems have different layouts and duties, meaning some engines create the necessary hydraulic pressure for the braking system for example or the power the nosewheel steering. So some system knowledge is required before turning off an engine during taxi.
Also, thermal stress is an issue. Many aeroplane manufacturers recommend that the engine needs to be running at least three minutes prior to applying take-off power to reduce thermal stress on the engine. Similar scenario when taxiing inbound with one engine. After applying reverse thurst, you need to let the engines cool down for three minutes at idle power before shutting it down entirely.
But see more why ONE ENGINE TAXI procedures have become a common practice among many airlines and pilots.
Thank you very much for your time! I hope you enjoy this video!
Wishing you all the best!
Your "Captain" Joe

Real easy answer from me! My plane only HAS one engine!

[@benjomin5066]

Travelling Ryanair?

[@josephkrol8330]

If you read these, a collab with the channel '74 Gear' (Kelsey is also a 747 pilot) would be very interesting!

[@topfelya]

Congratulations on 1 million subscribers ! You fully deserve it Joe !!!

[@rogerhargreaves2272]

I didn’t know they did. A good follower of Captain Joe is always learning. 👍💯

[@aboodmki3]

Instructions were not clear, done it in my Cessna 182

[@psivewri]

I thought the plane had an engine failure when I saw this happening a few months ago 😂

[@rpgiv3175]

This video couldn't have been more perfectly timed. I just got home from vacation, and I managed to get myself to fly on a MD-90, and I noticed while we were taxiing, engine no.2 wasnt in operation until we were just about to rocket out of there. For a few minutes I was curious until now. Thanks captain!

[@IsmailOzz28]

After this Ryanair is gonna try fly with 1 engine for fuel saving.

[@samuelmwangi9780]

Now I fully understand why one engine is shut down. I won't freak out during taxing again. Thanks Captain Joe. You are the best.

I was so excited to see you mention Alaska Airlines. I am a ramp agent for their baggage handling company in Seattle.

[@Spazik86]

Pilot Emilie is really cute :)

[@routadu]

He makes us understand topics so easily

[@Rocinante_1980]

In all my many years using KZbin, have I ever heard such extremely interesting and useful information crammed into such a short time. The reason why this is one of my most favorite channels on KZbin.

[@Promissed_]

I bought a hoodie and a t-shirt from your shop and I love them super good quality and comfortable I wear them everyday 👍🏻

[@davekirwin]

I'm just a regular flying commuter, but I find your videos most informative and well presented. Thank you.

[@bennydav98]

As a ground handler that operates with q300 and q400, it does really help to taxi to gate with engine 2 only running. That is because us ground handlers on the ground, have to connect the GPU on the left side. So it really helps and i think is a bit more secure for both parts! :)

[@UncypheredRoblox]

*Very helpful*, thanks Captain Joe, you helped me alot because I love turboprops more than jets and want to fly one when I'm older.

[@sohamsaraf2306]

Thank you for the explanation. Really appreciated and informative
