I seem to remember the 727 has a procedure for battery start, as long as at least the #3 engine bleed is open. (Otherwise I seem to remember you are hosed: the bleeds are either main or essential AC powered.)1. Can't battery start most transport-category jet aircraft
2. Oftentimes we will APU start an engine, shut the APU down and single-engine taxi.
3. Cross-bleed start the critical engine, and depart.

We'll start one on Fifi and still keep the APU running on single engine taxi even though one engine is more than enough to supply air to the packs and cross bleed start the second engine. Someone brought this up to mngt and they were told this is the way Airbus wants it. Genius I tell you.1. Can't battery start most transport-category jet aircraft

Our CRJs do the taxi check while holding still, granted, I think it's flaps eight, flight controls or something like that. Southwest does it holding still too.We're the jerks tying up the alleyway for a half hour. Start both, tug drives off, see the pin, flaps 5, check flight controls, do the checklist... Meanwhile, ramp is having an aneurism.

Not THAT bad in JFK.
In ATL, however, would be maddening.
"Roger, the revenue airplane will give way to the empty airplane, Widget ninety eight zero four heavy."We do it in ATL too.

Actually I did give way many times in DFW, hoss.If you knew who we were carrying, you'd give way.
