Systems and Methods to Determine Engine Operation During Taxiing of a Multi-Engine Aircraft

A method of taxiing an aircraft with multiple engines, the method comprising:

• collecting historical data on conditions that affect one or more engine characteristics of the engines during taxiing of the aircraft;
• determining current conditions that affect the one or more engine characteristics during taxiing of the aircraft;
• generating, for each of the individual engines and based on the historical data and the current conditions, an expected outcome of the one or more engine characteristics for each of the engines;
• determining one or more of the engines to not use and taxiing based on the expected outcome of the one or more engine characteristics of each of the engines;
• and
• operating one or more of the engines of the aircraft during taxiing and shutting down a remainder of the engines during taxiing.
