SUBJECT:
Engine Out Taxi
ATA NO:

APPLIES TO:
737-7/-8/-9/-8200
Background Information
The Flight Crew Training Manual (2007 and earlier) stated that it is “not recommended” to taxi out with less than all engines running. Many operators found this policy policy to be restrictive to their
EOT policies, procedures, and flight crew familiarization materials specific to their operation and in accordance with the requirements of their regulatory authorities. Based on our review of operator EOT policies and procedures, Boeing recommends that the following factors be considered when implementing EOT operations: 1. Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) 2. Potential Risk Factors 3. Operational Considerations 4. Airplane Systems Considerations. 1. Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)
Operator SOPs should be established to manage EOT procedures and to mitigate the potential increase in risk when taxiing with an engine shutdown. These SOPs should provide the flight flight crew with clear and concise guidance for EOT operations. SOPs should contain and emphasize two separate separate steps. First, the flight crew configures the airplane using normal scan flow flow and procedures. Second, the flight crew verifies the proper configuration using a checklist. For example, the flight crew sets the flaps using using scan flow and procedures, then in a second separate step, the flight crew verifies proper airplane configuration using a checklist. FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 120-71B (1/10/2017) titled “Standard Operating Procedures and Pilot Monitoring Duties for Flight Deck Crewmembers ” provides advice and recommendations about the development, implementation, implementation, and updates of SOPs. It also explains the background, basic concepts, and philosophy with respect to SOPs.

Secondary tasks also increase the risk of crew error, including the potential for incorrect airplane configuration, runway incursion, or violation violation of a taxi clearance. Flight crews need to be aware of the potential for high workload situations prior to and during engine start and shutdown, and when configuring airplane systems during EOT operations. Starting an engine with the parking pa rking brake set is one way to mitigate the potential for human error during taxi operations. Other elements that can contribute to crew errors and deviations from SOPs include: •
• •
2.2.
Changes to ATC instructions, e.g., runway o r taxiway changes while taxiing or takeoff sequence changes Unfamiliar airports Complicated taxi clearances. Loss of Airplane Systems
During EOT operations, some airplane systems may not be powered. As a result, loss loss of an additional airplane system during EOT EOT operations can reduce system redundancies. The flight crew should review the impact of Minimum Equipment List (MEL) items on EOT operations. EOT operations should not be conducted c onducted when a system that impacts braking b raking or steering capability is not operative. 2.3.
Break-away Thrust
The thrust that is required to start moving the airplane is higher during EOT EOT operations. As the weight of the airplane increases, the required break-away thrust also also increases. High break-away thrust can create hazards to personnel personnel and equipment as well as to airport structures. Flight crews need to consider:
3. Operational Considerations
Operator policies, procedures, and crew familiarization material should address items such as: 3.1.
Airports
Local airport directives can require taxiing with all engines running. Other airports may not be suited to EOT operations due to ramp and taxiway layout. 3.2.
Taxiway and ramps
Taxiway and ramp slope and composition, particularly soft asphalt, may not be suited to EOT operations. Congested ramps: The risk of damage due to jet blast increases, with the close proximity of personnel and equipment. When ramps are congested, consider taxiing with all engines operating. Slippery taxiways and ramps: Ramp areas can be more slippery than taxiways and runways. Some operators require a taxi surface braking action of “good” or better before conducting EOT operations. Contamination: When ramps or taxiways are covered with ice, snow, slush or standing water, taxi with all engines operating. 3.3.
Engine Considerations
Engine Starting Time: The Crew should consider the longer start times on the 737 MAX as
3.4.
Crew Performance and Additional Considerations
Familiarity with EOT and airport: The flight crew should be familiar with EOT operations, the additional risk factors, and airplane system considerations. Boeing recommends that familiarization or training material be integrated into normal training events. The crew should consider their familiarity with the airport and the complexity of the taxi route before conducting EOT operations.
Atmospheric conditions: The crew should consider the current atmospheric conditions such as wind, visibility, and temperature. During adverse weather conditions, taxi with all engines operating. Direction and radius of turns: The crew should consider the direction of turns when conducting EOT operations. A sharp turn toward the operating engine is more difficult to accomplish. Also, a small turn radius may not be possible with less than all engines operating. If possible, when making minimum radius turns, keep the operating engine on the outside of the turn. Keeping the airplane moving will preserve the momentum and makes the taxi task easier. Maintain a constant pressure on the tiller due to the asymmetrical thrust. Secondary tasks, e.g., system configurations: Airplane systems need to be configured and managed appropriately to maintain safety, redundancies, and to optimize passenger comfort. For example, during EOT operations there is a potential for a fuel imbalance during long taxi times. The crew should ensure that fuel balance is maintained within the applicable limits. Proper configuration of systems for EOT operations should be addressed. Taxi time (slot time): With a short taxi time, EOT may not be advisable, due to the time required for systems reconfiguration, engine start, checklist accomplishment and engine warm
Conclusion
Boeing believes that if operator policies, procedures, and training are appropriately applied to EOT operations, the risks can be mitigated to a level that will be satisfactory to operators and their regulatory authorities. Additional References

System Considerations and Flight Deck Effects
System Considerations and Flight Deck Effects General Information: The analysis is applicable to 737-7/-8/-9/-8200 airplanes. Operators should ensure that their policies and procedures account for all modifications after delivery as this analysis does not account for these modifications. Due to the large number of configurations allowed by the Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL), no MEL considerations were made during this analysis. Operators choosing to conduct EOT operations with MEL items will need to ensure that their policies and procedures account for the inoperative equipment. This analysis was specifically developed for (4) configurations: Configuration 1: Engine #1 (Left) OFF, Engine #2 (Right) ON, APU OFF Configuration 2: Engine #1 (Left) OFF, Engine #2 (Right) ON, APU ON Configuration 3: Engine #1 (Left) ON, Engine #2 (Right) OFF, APU OFF Configuration 4: Engine #1 (Left) ON, Engine #2 (Right) OFF, APU ON • • • •

Brief Analysis of System Considerations and Flight Deck Effects Air Systems
Assumption: Configurations with the APU unavailable assume the APU bleed switch is selected OFF. On warm and hot days cabin airflow will be less than normal, regardless of engine thrust level on the operating engine. However, both air conditioning packs cannot be operated with one engine operating and the isolation valve open due to engine EGT limitations. If satisfactory temperature control cannot be achieved with bleed air from one engine, air conditioning performance can be improved with both engines operating or with the APU
System Considerations and Flight Deck Effects
Electrical
For configurations with the APU OFF, the electrical load should not exceed the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) limitation (75 KVA) for a single engine d riven generator during ground operations. Note that “automatic” load shedding does not activate until the load exceeds 90 KVA. Selecting the CAB/UTIL switch to OFF will lower the electric load. With the CAB/UTIL switch OFF, a single engine driven generator can supply power to the airplane electrical system with the exception of the following: galleys and nonessential loads which typically include heating elements (for lavatory water, drains, hoses and doors), logo lights, the potable water compressor, and recirculation fans. Medical outlets (if installed) can lose power. Total load on the generator will be less than the AFM limitation, assuming there has not been a post-production modification to the airplane electrical system that will cause a large increase in electrical loading. For configurations with the APU ON, the APU generator should power the AC transfer bus on the side of the engine that is shut down. Engines, APU
During EOT operations, engine operation limits as specified in the FCOM should be followed, including engine warm up and cool down times and an increase in engine oil temperature before takeoff. Three minutes is the minimum recommended warm up time. However, a longer warm up time can result in a lower peak EGT value during the takeoff and could increase engine life. Operators can establish longer minimum warm up and cool down times. The engine manufacturer should be consulted for economic impact (increase in engine life) of extended warm up and cool down times.
System Considerations and Flight Deck Effects
Flight Controls
Depending on the hydraulic system configuration, moving multiple flight control surfaces simultaneously can cause the hydraulic demand to exceed the capabilities of the Electric Motor-Driven Pump (EMDP), resulting in movement at reduced rates. To preclude incorrect settings caused by rushed activity the following items should be set before taxiing: Stabilizer trim for takeoff Flaps for takeoff • •
After both engines are operating, the flight crew should do: The Before Taxi Procedure The Before Taxi normal checklist The Before Takeoff Procedure The Before Takeoff normal checklist • • • •
Flight Management, Navigation
Flight Management Computer (FMC) V-speeds can be affected by the bleed configuration. Verify the V-speeds after both engines are running. Fuel
Fuel System: All fuel system functions will be available regardless of which engine is operating. Fuel loading and usage limitations are unaffected. If a fuel imbalance occurs, follow the Fuel Balancing supplementary procedure.
System Considerations and Flight Deck Effects
Nitrogen Generation System (NGS): Taxi-Out The NGS does not operate during taxi out and is not affected by EOT operations during taxi-out. Taxi-In To supply bleed air pressure and cooling air for the NGS, ensure the left manifold is pressurized, and the left air conditioning pack is on. There are no flight deck indications for the NGS. Hydraulics
Hydraulic system effects during EOT operations are not affected by the operational state of the APU (ON or OFF). Any electric generator is capable of providing power to A and B Electric Motor-Driven Pumps (EMDPs). Due to the redundant design of the hydraulic system, EOT operations will not result in any inoperable systems. When hydraulic power is provided by a single EMDP, hydraulic demand can exceed the capabilities of the EMDP, resulting in affected systems operating at reduced rates. When taxiing with engine #2 shutdown, depending on the hydraulic load of the airplane, the brakes can switch from hydraulic system B normal brakes to hydraulic system A alternate brakes. Use of alternate brakes can cause undesired transfer of hydraulic fluid between the systems due to valve operation.
